Bunker fuel supplies in Singapore remain tight, with ongoing bottlenecks at marine loading terminals and delays in incoming cargo deliveries restricting local market availability.

Purchasers seeking very low sulphur fuel oil are currently facing lead times of approximately 13 to 15 days to secure bunker stems in the region's primary bunkering hub.

The operational timeline reflects persistent supply pressures, following the previous week when regional suppliers advised booking deliveries from roughly 13 days to over three weeks in advance.
