Qatar’s Tasweeq Offers Rare Straight-Run Fuel Oil Cargo

Qatar International Petroleum Marketing Company, or Tasweeq, has offered an unusually large volume of straight-run fuel oil due to maintenance at its refinery, tender documents showed on Thursday.

The company is offering two 40,000-tonne cargoes for loading in March from Mesaieed, a move that traders said was the first in a long time.

“Yes, we will do the (refinery) maintenance. It is planned for March,” said a company source, who declined to be named as he was not authorised to speak with the media.

The source declined to specify the units and duration of the maintenance.
