The following article regarding regional bunker fuel availability outlook for the East of Suez region has been provided by online marine fuels procurement platform ENGINE for publication on Singapore bunkering publication Manifold Times: Bunker supply tight in Singapore Bunker availability improves in Zhoushan Fuel availability tight across all grades in Fujairah Singapore and Malaysia VLSFO and HSFO availability in Singapore is very tight right now. VLSFO delivery schedules in the port have stretched further, now ranging between 12-14 days, compared to 9-18 days previously. HSFO lead times stand at 9-14 days, from last week’s 4-10-day window. LSMGO availability has tightened as well, with lead times extending to 8-9 days, from last week’s 5-9 days. There are very limited suppliers offering small HSFO parcels in Singapore, and a premium is expected for quantities of 500 mt and below, a trader said. At Malaysia’s Port Klang, VLSFO supply remains relatively stable, especially for smaller prompt volumes. Tighter conditions persist for LSMGO, while HSFO availability continues to face constraints, making both grades increasingly difficult to secure. East Asia Availability in Zhoushan has slightly improved this week, with lead times for all grades shortening to around 4-7 days, down from last week’s 5-7 days. Bunker availability across northern China remains mixed, with lead times ranging between 4-7 days for all grades. Dalian and Qingdao are well supplied with VLSFO and LSMGO, although HSFO is tight in Qingdao. In Shanghai, VLSFO and HSFO availability is limited, while LSMGO supply remains relatively stable. Prompt bunker fuel availability has improved in southern Chinese ports. Lead times here range between 3-6 days, another trader said. Notably, Fuzhou is tight on both VLSFO and LSMGO, while Xiamen has adequate VLSFO but limited LSMGO. HSFO availability in Hong Kong is exceptionally this week. Expected lead times for all grades are around seven days at least. Ta
