Petcoke waits for fresh direction on US tenders

摘要

Atlantic petcoke prices are seeing more upward pressure in themid-sulphur (4-5.5%) market due to scarce supplies.Overall availability from the United States (US) Gulf ofMexico is limited, as lower sulphur crude oils from Venezuelaare severely disrupted and alternatives (Maya or Saudi) areproducing a higher sulphur grade. The last Venezuelan loadingwas a 25,000 t part-cargo some three weeks ago.
