Platts discontinues USAC conventional barges, Laurel RBOB, CBOB cargo, Boston cargo assessments

S&P Global Platts has discontinued several US Atlantic Coast gasoline assessments – New York Harbor conventional unleaded barges; Laurel RBOB; NYH unleaded 89, NYH unleaded 93, NYH CBOB and NYH Premium RBOB cargoes; as well as Boston RBOB cargo – effective Jan. 4, 2021.

This followed a proposal note published Aug. 6: https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/080620-platts-proposes-to-discontinue-usac-conventional-barges-laurel-rbob-cbob-cargo-boston-cargo-assessments.

As part of this project, Platts has also discontinued related assessments for premium grades, supplementals, differentials and intradays.

The discontinuations were due to a decline in physical flows in these markets for various reasons. Spot liquidity in finished grade gasoline in the NYH region has declined over the years, with the market primarily focused on the import and trade of gasoline components, which are then typically blended domestically into finished regular and premium gasoline grades, Platts understands.

There have also been limited imports of CBOB cargoes into the NYH region, with such cargoes primarily coming into the US via the Southeast region. In Boston, RBOB cargo trade has shifted to term contracts, Platts understands, while the Laurel Pipeline stopped shipping RBOB in 2019.

As part of this project, Platts has also discontinued the New York Harbor unleaded 87 cargo intraday assessment.
