European barge MOC dates ahead of May 8 UK holiday

S&P Global Platts wishes to amend previous guidance issued around European barge MOC dates reflected ahead of the UK public holiday on Friday, May 8.

Effective May 5, 6 and 7, and in line with the published holiday schedule, Platts will reflect bids, offers and trades of refined product barges that load 6-15 days forward, not the usual 5-15 days forward in its European Market on Close assessment process.

The assessment continues to reflect the usual 3-15/5-15 days forward date range.

The full detail for each day can be seen below:

On May 5, MOC dates will be May 11 - May 20 (front-end dates: May 11 - May 15; mid-window dates: May 13 - May 17; back-end dates: May 16 - May 20)

On May 6, MOC dates will be May 12 - May 21 (FE dates: May 12 - May 16; MW dates: May 14 - May 18; BE dates: May 17 - May 21)

On May 7, MOC dates will be May 13 - May 22 (FE dates: May 13 - May 17; MW dates: May 15 - May 19; BE dates: May 18 - May 22)

No European oil assessments will be published on May 8.
