‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house / Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Except Totsa. Totsa was awake and rummaging through the Dubai window looking for cargoes like an excited child sifting through a Christmas stocking on the hunt for chocolate. Buyers and sellers exchanged partial gifts all in good Christmas spirit. Right? And the French were rewarded with another 4 convergences! They got three Upper Zakums: one from each of BP, Exxon and Reliance. Trafi wanted to be different to the rest and nominated an Oman. By our counting, that makes a total of 29 convergences in December in the Dubai window, of which 27(!!) have gone to Totsa. More than one cargo per calendar day and working towards half of the Upper Zakum monthly program. Don’t call it a squeeze, call it a Christmas embrace. Tight we know So far, two other cargoes went to Mitsui and Glencore, who’ve been left to fight for Totsa’s leftovers all month. Thank you to our kind readers for helping to cross-check the data! Singapore friends, you are awesome!
