Platts to include Southern Emperor FSU in Singapore fuel oil cargo, ex-wharf bunker MOC from May 30

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will include the vessel Southern Emperor as an additional loading point in its Platts Singapore Market on Close assessment process for cargo and ex-wharf bunkers for marine fuel 0.5% and 380 CST HSFO from May 30, 2025.

Southern Emperor (IMO 9294068) is operated by Southern Ace Marine Sdn. Bhd. as a floating storage unit at Kukup, Malaysia.

Platts first proposed including the FSU as an additional loading point in a subscriber note published April 22 .

There are currently 12 FSUs approved as additional loading points in the FOB Singapore cargo and ex-wharf bunkers MOC 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 S&P Global for publishing. Any offer of oil from vessels accredited for the FOB Singapore cargo and ex-wharf bunkers MOC 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.
