Marine Fuel Prices
Under IMO MARPOL Annex VI, ships without exhaust-gas scrubbers must use fuel with at most 0.50% sulphur since 1 January 2020, and at most 0.10% inside Emission Control Areas. This hub lists the 0.5% and 0.1% marine grades.
Trading Basis & Assessment Specifications
FOB Singapore, FOB Fujairah and FOB Rotterdam(-Antwerp) values are loading-port cargo or barge values, not delivered bunker stems; the Rotterdam bunker 380 CST series is the only delivered quote in this catalogue. The 0.5% vs 3.5% difference (Hi-5 spread) is one input to scrubber economics, not the payback itself.
- Sulphur grade: 0.5% (global cap) vs 0.1% (ECA limit); DMA MGO 0.1% is a distillate grade, marine fuel 0.1% Rotterdam barge is a separate row.
- Parcel and term: FOB Singapore, FOB Fujairah, FOB Med and CIF Med are cargo values; FOB Rotterdam-Antwerp and FOB Rotterdam barge are barge values (source delivery-basis table and row label).
- None of these is a delivered bunker stem; the only delivered quote in the catalogue is Rotterdam bunker 380 CST on the fuel-oil hub.
