Singapore marine fuels sales in July totalled 3.88mn t, down by 42,000t from June and 158,000t from July last year, provisional data from Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) show.
This is the seventh consecutive month of falling bunker sales at the port against a year earlier. Bunker sales are now down by 1.8mn t or 6.12pc during January-July compared with the same period last year.
Argus reported an average of 21 bunker deals each day in July, up slightly from 20 in June.

Demand for low-sulphur marine gasoil fell to 217,000t in July from 231,000t in June.
Singapore's delivered 380cst HSFO prices averaged $450/t in July, up from $385/t in June, data collected by Argus showed.
An estimated 3,348 vessels called at Singapore to refuel in July, up from 3,284 vessels during the previous month, according to the MPA.
