North Sea Crude-Shell fixes second June-loading Forties VLCC to Asia

LONDON, May 26 (Reuters) -

* Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) has fixed a second supertanker to take Forties to Asia in June, shipping data showed on Thursday,

* There was no change in differentials and only one grade, Oseberg, was offered in the Platts window.

SHIPPING FIXTURES

* Shell has tentatively fixed the VLCC Samco Europe to sail to Asia with Forties, Reuters shipping data shows, in addition to the Sara, as reported on Wednesday.

This means that Shell is taking at least 6 million barrels of Forties to Asia in May and June. The Samco Sundarbans is making the voyage in May.

WINDOW SUMMARY

* Glencore (Xetra: A1JAGV - news) offered an Oseberg cargo for loading June 14-16 at dated Brent plus $1.25, equal to dated plus 34 cents when applying the June quality premium of 91 cents. This was 15 cents higher than the last Reuters assessment of Oseberg.

* Forties was last valued at dated Brent plus 5 cents, having weakened on Monday in response to offers of crude from floating storage. (Reporting by Alex Lawler; Editing by David Goodman)
