据烃加工网7月14日报道，根据官方数据显示，尽管2023年上半年的生物混合燃料销售量已经超过2022年，但6月份新加坡船用燃料的月销售量降至四个月来的最低点。

作为世界主要港口和最大的船舶燃料补给中心之一的新加坡，其燃料销售情况是反映市场情绪的一个关键指标。

根据新加坡海事和港口管理局（MPA）数据显示，6月份船用燃料销售总量为393万吨，环比下降13.1%，但同比增长4.7%。

环比下降是由于低硫燃料油和高硫船用燃料油等级的销量下降所致。

根据MPA数据显示，6月份船舶加注次数为3369次，比5月份下降7.2%。

可替代燃料

根据最新数据显示，2023年上半年生物混合低硫燃料油的销售量为18.95万吨，超过2022年全年的14.02万吨。

这一增长反映出，随着托运人和供应商采用更清洁的替代燃料，新加坡的生物燃料混合燃料市场有所增加。

与此同时，尽管落后于生物燃料的销量，到目前为止2023年新加坡液化天然气的燃料销售总量为3.69万吨，高于2022年全年的1.62万吨。

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.
