SINGAPORE - Iraq's state-owned marketer SOMO has offered a term contract to supply high-sulphur straight-run fuel oil (SRFO) each month from April to September, industry sources said Friday.

The tender will close on Feb. 22, with validity up to 20 days.

The fuel oil supplies will be lifted from the Khor al-Zubair (KAZ) ship-to-ship transfer port, with the volume ranging from about 262,000 tonnes to 464,500 tonnes per month.

SOMO did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
