(Corrects paragraph 3 to clarify that P66 bought the cargo)
SINGAPORE, Sept 25 (Reuters) - S&P Global Platts on
Wednesday reported the first physical cargo trade for
low-sulphur fuel oil (LSFO) with a maximum 0.5% sulphur content
in Singapore ahead of a sulphur cap by the International
Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2020.
The milestone trade comes ahead of new International
Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations that will reduce the
permissible sulphur content in marine fuels globally from 3.5%
currently to 0.5% from the start of 2020.
Shell sold 20,000 tonnes of LSFO marine grade fuel to P66 at
$19 per tonne to Singapore quotes for October for delivery on
Oct. 16-20, according to trade data collected by Reuters.
