Singapore 380-cst price declines for the third consecutive month in December.



The average price of 380-centistoke (cst) fuel oil in Singapore decreased for the third consecutive month in December, according to Bunker Index price data.

The 380-cst average at the world's leading bunker port fell by $4 per tonne, or 0.7 percent, to $599 per tone this month, down from $603 per tonne in November.
