Singapore 380 CST to reflect 3.5% sulfur from July 2012

Platts is considering amending the sulfur content reflected in its 380 CST high sulfur fuel oil Singapore cargo assessments from July 1, 2012.

Platts proposes to decrease the maximum specified allowable sulfur to 3.5% maximum standards, lower from the present ceiling of 4% sulfur maximum standard.

This would align the sulfur content in HSFO cargoes with standard quality in the bunker fuel market, which is the predominant end-user grade for 380 CST fuel oil cargoes in Singapore.
