Platts proposes changes to ammonia freight assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is proposing changes to its ammonia freight assessments, effective May 20, 2024.

Platts is proposing to increase the publishing cadence of its ammonia freight assessments from weekly to daily (Monday-Friday).
