ENGINE: East of Suez Bunker Fuel Availability Outlook (10 Nov 2026)
All grades very tight for prompt dates in Singapore; VLSFO availability very tight in Hong Kong; tight supply across grades in Fujairah.
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 in Singapore is very tight for prompt dates across all three grades. VLSFO is very tight further out as well, while HSFO and LSMGO are tight.
Suppliers recommend 13-17 days’ notice for VLSFO, up from 13-15 days last week, and 12-16 days for HSFO. LSMGO lead times have eased slightly to 7-10 days. The shortest lead times have crept up since late September, when VLSFO and HSFO could be booked 10 days ahead and LSMGO in around five days.
Onshore residual fuel oil stocks averaged 18.56 million bbls in October, against 24.13 million bbls a year earlier, according to Enterprise Singapore data. That is despite higher net fuel oil imports than a year ago: 3.80 million bbls in October, against 3.03 million bbls.
