Welcome along to February. Just 8 weeks or so left of winter delivery.
Yesterday saw a short outage of Kollnes, which is back online this morning, prompting an upward movement in market prices. So far the Norwegian fleet hasn’t suffered too much this winter which is a positive sign.
Outlook remains unchanged from previous days. Market prices have crept just the wrong side of psychological levels which may be a barrier with some colder temperatures due in the coming weeks.
