Singapore bunker or ship fuel prices were mostly flat on Friday as tighter prompt availability offered support against downward pressure from thin demand.
Traders pegged 380-centistoke (cst) bunker fuel oil at $180-$181 a tonne, mostly flat from Thursday, despite demand for fewer than 10,000 tonnes heard in the market, down from 15,000 tonnes sought on Thursday.
Singapore's fuel oil stocks fell 1.126 million barrels in the week to Wednesday to 12.270 million barrels, a drop that traders said had helped to keep bunker's premium to cargoes stable at $3-$4 a tonne for a second day.
Marine gas oil was offered at $309 a tonne, steady from Thursday in thin dealings, traders said.
