Kuwait's KPC raises Sep sulphur price to $123/t fob
Kuwait's state-owned sulphur supplier KPC has set its September Kuwait sulphur price (KSP) at $123/t fob, up by $17/t from $106/t fob in August.
The latest adjustment for September implies delivered pricing to China of $151-157/t cfr at current freight rates, which were last assessed on 29 August at $26-28/t to south China and at $30-32/t to Chinese river ports for a shipment of 30,000-35,000t.
This follows Qatari state-owned sulphur producer and marketer Muntajat/Qatar Energy's announcement of its September sulphur price at $125/t fob Qatar late last week.
KPC issued two spot tenders of granular sulphur for loading during September, which each offered 30,000t plus or minus 10pc. The tenders closed during August, with both likely awarded in the mid-upper $120s/t fob.

Qatar Energy to build new urea plant by 2030
Singapore, 2 September (Argus) — State-owned urea producer Qatar Energy announced plans to build a new urea production complex by 2030, doubling its urea production capacity to 12.4mn t/yr. The producer is planning to build three additional ammonia production lines which would supply feedstock to the four new urea production trains in Mesaieed. This would double Qatar Energy's annual urea output of 6mn t/yr, and potentially position Qatar as the world's largest urea exporter, Qatar's energy minister and QE chief executive, Saad bin Sherida al-Kaabi, said. Production from the project's first urea train is expected by 2030. By Dinise Chng Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024. Argus Media group .
