Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - North Sea crude differentials were unchanged on Friday after no activity in the window as outright Brent futures declined over 6% this week, marking a third consecutive weekly drop. * A spreading coronavirus from China has roiled oil markets over fears of depressed fuel demand. * At least three VLCCs of Forties are expected to sail to Asia from the February programme. Total has booked the TRF Horten loading Feb. 1, an unnamed charterer hast the Daba lined up for Feb. 15 and Vitol has booked the Lita loading Feb. 12, according to Refinitiv Eikon tanker tracking data. * Vitol may also send the Andromeda that is scheduled for end-February but which could slip to March. * Premier Oil's biggest lender on Friday raised concerns over the company's plan to have its creditors vote on planned acquisitions of North Sea assets under a scheme that allows it to delay debt repayments and issue new shares. PLATTS WINDOW * There was no activity in the window. (Reporting by Julia Payne, editing by Louise Heavens)
