North Sea Crude-Forties steady, multiple offers weigh

LONDON, March 7 (Reuters) - North Sea Forties differentials were steady on Tuesday at a discount to dated Brent, pressured by ample supplies as Vitol and two other sellers offered cargoes.

Vitol was again offering Forties from the VLCC Trikwong Venture, which is now anchored off Hound Point. The vessel had originally been fixed to take North Sea crude to Asia.

WINDOW SUMMARY

FORTIES:

* BP sold Glencore (Frankfurt: 8GC.F - news) a cargo of Forties for loading March 21-23 at 55 cents below dated Brent, the same discount as a deal on Monday.

* Vitol again offered Forties loading via STS (Shanghai: 603322.SS - news) at Scapa Flow from the Trikwong Venture at a discount of 20 cents to dated Brent, the same as an offer on Monday. The offer was withdrawn.

* Eni (LSE: 0N9S.L - news) was also offering a cargo, which it did not sell in the window.
