Euronav has recently chartered a tanker to bring a 30,000 tonne cargo of low-sulphur fuel oil from northwest Europe to Malta, where its megatanker, Oceania, has been parked offshore since January 12. Oil analytics firm Vortexa said the STI Brixton tanker loaded low-sulphur fuel oil from Antwerp on March 9 and is due to reach Malta by Wednesday, where it will likely transfer its cargo via a ship-to-ship operation onto the ultra large crude carrier (ULCC). This is the first observed STS shipment loaded onto the Oceania megatanker since it arrived offshore Malta. Euronav decided to deploy the Oceania to store clean fuel as part of its IMO 2020 initiatives.
