Platts proposes including Nalco lubricity improver EC5727A in Singapore gasoil

Following a review of recognized additives included in the FOB Singapore gasoil assessment process, Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to begin reflecting diesel lubricity improver EC5727A by Nalco.

Platts proposes to add diesel lubricity improver EC5727A to the list of recognized additives reflected in its assessment process found here: asia-refined-oil-products-methodology.pdf.

The list of Platts gasoil recognized additives is intended to provide clarity to market participants regarding which additives are generally considered merchantable and accepted for cargoes delivered through the Platts Market on Close assessment process in Singapore.

Platts does not align its FOB Singapore additives acceptance to any particular importing country.
