Petrojam to Buy Gasoline, Diesel and Jet Fuel

Jamaica's refining company Petrojam launched a tender to buy a 265,000 barrel cargo combining gasoline, high-sulfur diesel (HSD) and jet fuel for delivery May 1-3 at Kingston, according to a document seen by Reuters on Monday.

Petrojam, formed by the Jamaican government and Venezuela's state-run PDVSA to run the 35,000 barrel per day Kingston refinery, this month also bought a 100,000 barrel cargo of HSD and in March it tendered to buy two gasoline cargos.

This time the company will receive bids until April 24 and they must refer to unleaded gasoline 87, gasoil number 2 and jet fuel 54 from the U.S. Gulf Coast.

The cargo should contain 80,000 barrels of 88 octane gasoline, 50,000 barrels of 84 octane gasoline, 60,000 barrels of HSD and 75,000 barrels of jet fuel, the invitation says.
