US Players Eye Shipping Diesel to Japan

摘要

Japanese demand for diesel and other middle distillate fuels is making itself felt in the US, where there is an excess of supply held by refiners and traders, market sources said on Friday. With two refineries still down - the 145,000 barrels per day Sendai and 220,000 b/d Chiba plants - and strong demand for diesel to run generators and rescue equipment, Japan is looking to secure supplies wherever it can.
