Singapore's bunker market held largely steady in October 2025, with total sales amounting to 4.818m tonnes, according to the latest data from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). The figure, which is 1.2% lower than the 4.878m tonnes recorded a year earlier, is the first year-on-year decline since February.

Sales of Singapore's best-selling product, very-low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO), eased slightly YoY by 80,800 tonnes, or 3.2%, to 2.433m tonnes in October 2025.

Volumes of high-sulphur marine fuel oil (MFO) rose modestly by 52,900 tonnes, or 2.9%, from 1.814m tonnes in October 2024 to 1.867m tonnes this year.

The port's third-largest product, low-sulphur marine gasoil (LSMGO), posted a firmer performance in percentage terms. Sales increased by 48,700 tonnes, or 14.2% YoY, climbing from 343,300 tonnes to 392,000 tonnes last month.

Bio-blended VLSFO, although still a much smaller segment, saw one of the most pronounced declines among the port's fuel grades. Sales dropped by 66,200 tonnes, or 56.9%, from 116,200 tonnes a year earlier to just 50,000 tonnes in October 2025.

Bio-MFO also contracted. Volumes fell by 10,600 tonnes, or 48.8%, to 11,100 tonnes, down from 21,700 tonnes during the corresponding month in 2024.

LNG bunkering recorded a positive result as sales climbed YoY by 10,000 tonnes, or 19.8%, rising from 50,600 tonnes to 60,600 tonnes in October 2025. However, when comparing data for the first ten months with the previous year, LNG volumes are 285,700 tonnes compared with 334,600 tonnes in 2024.

Vessel bunker calls, meanwhile, rose to 3,753 — the second-highest level in the city-state's history. It is only surpassed by the figure recorded in December 2019: 3,829.
