China’s Bonded Bunker Sales Fell in October, Sinopec Says

China’s sales of tax-free ship fuel, known as bonded bunker, fell in October from a month earlier, according to an official at China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., the country’s largest oil refiner.

The nation’s total bonded-bunker sales may be more than 900,000 metric tons last month, down from about 1 million tons in September, Zhou Yiqing, the vice manager of the bunker department at China Petroleum, known as Sinopec, said in a telephone interview.
