380-cst parcel sold for delivery during the second half of November.

State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has sold a 30,000 metric tonne cargo of fuel oil via tender for delivery during the second half of November, Reuters reports.

The parcel of 380-cst fuel oil with 4 percent sulphur is reported to have been sold to Trafigura, one of the world's largest independent commodity trading companies, for loading from Chennai between November 16-19 and November 27-30.

The fuel oil cargo is understood to have been secured at a discount of below $20 per tonne to Middle East spot quotes.
