Three BP fuel oil traders in U.S.


    SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Resignations from BP Plc's fuel oil team have extended globally, with the departure of three traders from its U.S. office, including the team leader, and the head trader in London, three industry sources said on Monday.

    These take the total number of departures from the unit to 14 worldwide, after Reuters reported that five fuel oil traders in Singapore and four support staff quit last Wednesday, following the resignation of global fuel oil head Quek Chin Thean a week before that.

    When contacted, a BP spokeswoman in Singapore declined to comment. The reason for the resignations was not immediately clear.

    The fuel oil traders in the United States and London resigned over the past three to four weeks, the sources said.

    "Most of BP's fuel oil team, including the global head and the heads of the three trading centers, have left in the past month," a U.S.-based source said.
