Platts proposes to include SA Europe FSU in Singapore fuel oil cargo, ex-wharf bunker MOC from April 23

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is considering the inclusion of the vessel SA Europe as an additional loading point in its Singapore Market on Close assessment process for cargo and ex-wharf bunkers for marine fuel 0.5% and 380 CST HSFO from April 23, 2025.

SA Europe (IMO 9235268) is operated by Southern Ace Marine Sdn. Bhd. as a floating storage unit at Tanjung Pelapas, within Johor Bahru Port Limits in southern Malaysia's Johor state.

There are currently 11 FSUs approved as additional loading points in the FOB Singapore cargo and ex-wharf bunkers MOC process for marine fuel 0.5% and 380 CST HSFO. The standards applicable to approved FSUs require that sellers specifically name the vessel used as a loading point at the time of submitting offers to Platts for publishing.

Any offer of oil from vessels accredited for the FOB Singapore cargo and ex-wharf bunkers MOC process for marine fuel 0.5% and 380 CST HSFO would be on FOB FSU basis.

Sellers cannot unilaterally nominate an approved vessel as a loading point in FOB Straits trades.
