Platts to end some Baltic, Med freight rates

Platts proposes to suspend publication of certain assessments of freight rates for Urals and Kirkuk deliveries from the Baltic and Mediterranean ports.

These assessments, which are listed below, are only published on Platts Global Alert page 865, and they are not databased in Platts price assessment database or available in any other publication.

Platts proposes to discontinue these assessments on July 2, 2012.

Please send any comments or questions by June 15 to tankers@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com.
