Platts proposes to refine ports reflected in its CFR Southeast Asia methanol assessment

S&P Global Platts proposes to refine ports reflected in its daily CFR Southeast Asia methanol assessment, effective July 1, 2020.

Platts proposes to include the Indonesian port of Dumai to the basket of ports reflected in its CFR Southeast Asia methanol assessment following Platts' observation of increased methanol cargo deliveries to Dumai.

Furthermore, Platts proposes to reflect Port Klang, Kuantan, Dumai and Singapore as the price basis of its CFR Southeast Asia assessment while deliveries to all other Southeast Asian ports will be normalized to this basket of ports applying freight differentials.
