Platts includes Kirin Star FSU in Singapore fuel oil cargo, ex-wharf bunker MOC June 2

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has included the ship Kirin Star as an additional loading point in its Platts Singapore Market on Close assessment process for fuel oil cargo and ex-wharf bunkers for marine fuel 0.5% and 380 CST HSFO from June 2, 2026.

Kirin Star (IMO 9294290) is operated by Nathalin Shipping Pte. Ltd. as a floating storage unit at Kukup, Malaysia.

Platts first proposed including the FSU as an additional loading point in a subscriber note published May 4 and subsequently published a decision note May 18.

Including the Kirin Star, there are now 13 FSUs approved as additional loading points in the FOB Singapore fuel oil 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 ship used as a loading point at the time of submitting offers to Platts for publishing. The list of approved FSUs can be found here.

Any offer of oil from ships accredited for the FOB Singapore fuel oil 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 ship as a loading point in FOB Straits trades.
