Record VLSFO bunker price rise sparks credit concerns

Singapore, 2 March (Argus) — The outright price of delivered very-low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) bunkers in Singapore rose by $63.90/t to $858.50/t today, a record surge since Argus started assessing the grade on 1 October 2018.

Bunker prices rose firmly in line with crude prices, which reacted to an escalation of the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Ice Brent futures at 16:30 Singapore time reached $111.14/bl, a daily increase of $10.66/bl.
