SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to add a new additive for Singapore gasoil cargoes

Following feedback to its announcement on March 29 on a review of additives reflected in its FOB Singapore gasoil assessments, Platts will begin reflecting a new additive from July 1, which has been used in Singapore and accepted in Australia, a key regional demand center for gasoil.

This additive is lubricity improver PC 32 manufactured by Total.

Platts understands that Total PC 32 is acceptable for use in major 10 ppm consumer Australia, and has been added to spot gasoil cargoes sold in the region historically.

Platts proposes to add this additive to the list of recognized additives reflected in its assessment process.
