Platts proposes including A Jewel FSU in Singapore fuel oil cargo, ex-wharf bunker MOC from Oct 22

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is proposing the inclusion of the ship A Jewel 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 Oct. 22, 2025.

A Jewel (IMO 9244867) is operated by Southern Ace Marine Sdn. Bhd. as a floating storage unit at Kukup, Malaysia.

There are currently 11 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 ship 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 for marine fuel 0.5% and 380 CST HSFO would be on FOB FSU basis.

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