Subscriber note: Asia physical 180 CST 2% fuel oil on eWindow

Platts has introduced eWindow technology for the Asian Market on Close assessment process for physical FOB Singapore 180 CST 2% sulfur fuel oil cargoes. Participants in the Platts MOC assessment process are now able to submit bids and offers for publication directly through the eWindow software, or through an editor, who would then publish the bids and offers using the software. Bids, offers and trades for 180 CST 2% fuel oil appear in the eWindow software under the product name "Platts MSFO". Headlines generated by the software on Platts Global Alert carry the suffix Platts MSFO. Platts expects credit relationships that prevail within its assessment environment to fully reflect relationships in the markets as a whole. Where Platts editors publish bids and offers on behalf of a company that submits data to an editor, counterparty credit settings are set to "open" for regular participants in the assessment process, unless companies have notified Platts in advance of any restrictions. If you are submitting information through an editor and have not already notified Platts of any counterparty credit restrictions, please provide notification at least one hour prior to the start of the MOC process if any counterparty credit filters need to be modified. eWindow provides direct entry and management of credit filters, which should be those normally applied in the marketplace, for companies participating directly through the software. Platts provides training to participants interested in learning the use of the software. Please send any comments and questions to asia_products@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com.
