SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts removes ITC Deer Park from acceptable USGC FO terminals

S&P Global Platts has removed the ITC Deer Park terminal from consideration in its USGC fuel oil assessments, effective April 24.

The terminal caught fire March 17 and is reportedly inoperable. Before the fire, the ITC Deer Park terminal had 13.1 million barrels of capacity across 242 tanks, according to its website.

Platts may review individual terminals for inclusion in the assessment process based on market feedback.

Platts' US Gulf Coast fuel oil assessments currently reflect fuel oil loading basis FOB Houston from the following terminals: Magellan Galena Park Terminal, Bayport Container Terminal (LBC), Houston Fuel Oil Terminal (HOFTI) and Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal (BOSTCO).
