Platts to end Baltic-UKC 27.5kt assessment

Platts proposes to discontinue its fuel oil Baltic-United Kingdom/Continent 27.5kt dirty tanker freight assessment, reflecting the fact that with newer vessels, the majority of traffic on this route is now 30kt.

These rates are published in the Platts dirty Tankerwire and on Platts Global Alert page 946.

Platts proposes to discontinue this assessment on November 1, 2012.

This covers assessment codes: AAKXB00 -27.5kt Baltic/UKC Daily worldscale AAKXG00 -27.5kt Baltic/UKC Monthly average worldscale AAKXM00 -27.5kt Baltic/UKC Daily $/mt AAKXR00 -27.5kt Baltic/UKC $/mt monthly average
