Bunker fuel availability in Fujairah has tightened significantly, with only a small number of suppliers actively marketing fuel and many responding to enquiries selectively, according to a market source. Supply pressures are most pronounced in the VLSFO and LSMGO segments, where only one supplier is currently understood to hold available stocks. As a result, most offers for these grades are being issued only against firm enquiries. HSFO availability is comparatively less constrained, with two suppliers currently able to provide the grade.
