據烴加工網7月14日報道，根據官方數據顯示，盡管2023年上半年的生物混合燃料銷售量已經超過2022年，但6月份新加坡船用燃料的月銷售量降至四個月來的最低點。

作為世界主要港口和最大的船舶燃料補給中心之一的新加坡，其燃料銷售情況是反映市場情緒的一個關鍵指標。

根據新加坡海事和港口管理局（MPA）數據顯示，6月份船用燃料銷售總量為393萬噸，環比下降13.1%，但同比增長4.7%。

環比下降是由于低硫燃料油和高硫船用燃料油等級的銷量下降所致。

根據MPA數據顯示，6月份船舶加注次數為3369次，比5月份下降7.2%。

可替代燃料

根據最新數據顯示，2023年上半年生物混合低硫燃料油的銷售量為18.95萬噸，超過2022年全年的14.02萬噸。

這一增長反映出，隨著托運人和供應商采用更清潔的替代燃料，新加坡的生物燃料混合燃料市場有所增加。

與此同時，盡管落后于生物燃料的銷量，到目前為止2023年新加坡液化天然氣的燃料銷售總量為3.69萬噸，高于2022年全年的1.62萬噸。

Singapore bunker sales slip in June; bio-blended sales rise in H1 2023

Monthly sales of marine fuel, also known as bunker fuel, fell to four-month lows in Singapore in June, though bio-blended bunker sales for the first half of 2023 have surpassed 2022 volumes, official data showed on Friday.

Singapore's bunker sales are a key indicator of sentiment at one of the world's major ports and largest ship refueling hubs.

Bunker sales totaled 3.93 million metric tons in June, down 13.1% month-on-month, though 4.7% higher year-on-year, Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) data showed. 

The monthly drop was driven by a decline in volumes for both low-sulfur fuel oil and high-sulfur marine fuel oil grades.

Vessel calls for bunkering totaled 3,369 calls in June, down 7.2% from May, MPA data showed. 

Alternative fuels

Sales of bio-blended low-sulfur fuel oil totaled 189,500 metric tons for the first half of 2023, exceeding a total of 140,200 metric tons seen for the whole of 2022, based on the latest data.

The uptick reflected an increase in trials for biofuel bunker blends in Singapore as shippers and suppliers took steps towards the adoption of cleaner alternative fuels.

Meanwhile, bunker sales of liquefied natural gas totaled 36,900 metric tons in 2023 so far, firming from 16,200 metric tons seen in the whole of 2022, though lagging behind biofuel bunker volumes.
