Gap narrows: Rotterdam Vs global 380-cst average


Small gap in price between the world's leading ports has also led to a lower price differential between Rotterdam and BIX 380 CST.

The graph [please click to enlarge] and table accompanying this article demonstrate a number of interesting trends. First of all the gap in price between 380-centistoke (cst) in the world's three bunker leading ports - Singapore, Fujairah and Rotterdam - is extremely narrow at the moment in comparison with other periods.

In a comparison between the Bunker Index 380 CST (BIX 380 CST) - the average global price of 380-cst fuel expressed in US$ per metric tonne - with the 380-cst price in Singapore, Fujairah and Rotterdam, Fujairah prices are on average closer to BIX 380 CST as well as being normally more expensive than Singapore and Rotterdam.

As a consequence of the recent narrowing in the price differential between Rotterdam and the other two ports, the difference in price between Rotterdam and BIX 380 CST is also narrower (at just $17.37 on 06/11/2009).

Please find a table below which shows the difference in price between BIX 380 CST and the three respective ports from April to the present day.
