  "summary": "Fujairah's Hi5 spread has significantly widened this month, reaching its widest point since July, as the limited fuel oil cargoes reaching the UAE port have been mostly High-Sulphur Fuel Oil (HSFO). The spread between VLSFO (Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil) and HSFO in Fujairah has increased from $201/mt on 1 September to $285/mt on Thursday, while in Singapore and Zhoushan, the spreads have narrowed. This widening spread indicates potential fuel cost savings for scrubber-fitted ships burning HSFO instead of VLSFO.",
