(Updates cargo loading timing)
SINGAPORE, March 22 (Reuters) - South Korean refiner SK
Energy Co Ltd has issued a tender for more
April-loading 10 ppm sulphur gasoil cargoes after selling at
least one lot in the past two weeks, three industry sources said
on Wednesday.
The tender, seeking to sell two 300,000-barrel lots loading
on April 8-10 and April 21-23, will close at 2 p.m. (0600GMT),
with validity up to 10 p.m., the sources said.
The company sold the earlier loading cargo at a discount of
20 cents to 30 cents per barrel to Singapore quotes, after
offering at least two lots, Reuters records show.
The fresh offers show that the refiner may have changed
their sales strategy to offer more gasoil first, instead of jet
fuel, following better netbacks amid a wider regrade spread , one of the three sources said.
SK Energy was not immediately available for comment.
