Petrobras's Singapore-based bunker trader, Fernando Braz Scherr Brandi, has clarified the reason why an email announcement was sent to customers and market participants today to inform them that the company's Singapore bunker office would be closed for the whole of next week.

In the announcement, sent today, Petrobras said: "Please be informed that our bunker office in Singapore will be closed during next week, from May 25th to May 29th."

Speaking to Bunker Index, Braz explained that he would be away on business next week and, as he was Petrobras's only bunker trader based in Singapore, all enquiries should be directed to the firm's other offices in Rotterdam, London and Rio de Janeiro, as it would be difficult for him to handle customer enquiries whilst travelling.

The Singapore trader added that the company's offices in London and Rotterdam will be closed on Monday, May 25, so only the Rio de Janeiro office will be available to handle enquiries on that day.
