Platts expands list of ports reflected in Jet CIF NWE cargoes MOC assessment process

S&P Global Platts has expanded the list of ports reflected in its Market on Close assessment process for CIF Northwest European Jet cargoes, effective January 13, 2020 to include Oikos Terminal at Thames in the UK.

This follows a decision note published December 6, 2019 which can be found here: https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/120619-platts-to-expand-list-of-ports-reflected-for-cif-nwe-jet-cargoes-moc-assessment-process

Following market feedback, Platts understands that Oikos terminal at Thames is an active and regular location for the importation of jet fuel. Platts understands that the draft restrictions at Oikos terminal are 14 meters and throughput is estimated between 1 million and 1.5 million mt/year.

Platts will publish bids and offers for "Thames-Oikos" in the MOC assessment process for CIF NWE Jet Cargoes, in addition to the ports currently reflected. The location will be added to eWindow functionality on January 20.

In the interim, Platts expects market participants wishing to bid or offer into the port via the eWindow software to select the generic 'Port' hub and specify "Thames-Oikos" in the Terms, Quality and Conditions (TQC) box.

Platts currently publishes bids and offers into the following locations:
