SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts renames UKC-East VLCC assessment

S&P Global Platts on Monday, January 2, 2017, amended the name of its UK Continent-East VLCC freight assessment, which reflects fixtures for vessels taking fuel oil from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to Singapore.

Previously, the assessment was published in Dirty Tankerwire as "UK Continent-East" and on Platts Global Alert fixed page MH1970 as "UKC Singapore".

Platts has amended the nomenclature for this assessment to "Rotterdam-Singapore" in all sources to better reflect the actual route being assessed.

There is no change to the methodology for this assessment under this proposal.

The assessment is also published under the same codes: AASLA00 for lump sum and AASKY00 for $/mt equivalent.
