Tankers hit by issues after bunkering shale-blended fuel in Singapore amid Hormuz price surge

  • At least three tankers are facing sludging and fuel pump issues after bunkering with marine fuels in Singapore in April
  • Estonian shale oil components have been found in samples tested by VPS between February and March, resulting in elevated acid numbers
  • Skuld cautioned members to take extra steps given that components are undetectable in normal fuel tests
  • The incidents occurred amid a surge in bunker prices following the Hormuz crisis, which tightened regional fuel supply

  • News
