Platts launches European ETBE barges in eWindow

S&P Global Platts has launched Northwest European ETBE barges loading FOB basis Amsterdam-Rotterdam and ETBE differentials to MTBE in the eWindow communication tool for its Market on Close assessment process.

Effective April 20, 2020, Platts will publish bids, offers and intentions to trade in its MOC process for ETBE barges and differentials in the eWindow communication tool.

Indications from market participants received by Platts via instant messenger, telephone or other acceptable means will also be published on eWindow.

Headlines automatically generated by eWindow will appear on Platts Biofuel Alert page 1, using new short-form language.

Certain guidelines that are applied to publishing bids, offers and intentions to trade during the MOC process have been updated to reflect efficiencies associated with the addition of eWindow as a communication tool, which are summarized in a separate subscriber note.
