Low-sulphur fuel oil (LSFO) supplies are reported to be running low in China, but most ship operating activities are running as normal, said GAC.

“Bunkering services [at Chinese ports] have not been affected, but the LSFO supply inventory is running low,” the ship agency company confirmed in a circular to clients.

“Therefore, confirmation with local fuel oil suppliers and application to local regulatory authorities in advance is highly recommended.”
