SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts launches new Linden distillate assessments

Please note that Platts has launched new middle distillate assessments in the US Atlantic Coast, reflecting the value of jet fuel, ultra low sulfur diesel and ultra low sulfur heating oil delivered at the final destination on Colonial Pipeline into Linden, New Jersey.

The new assessments launched June 2, 2014.

These additions in regional coverage are in response to evolving market conditions.

Upgrades to refinery production and evolving fuel standards in the US mean that supply and trade of these fuels into Linden is increasingly common in the northeastern US.

These assessments are for material delivered into Linden, reflecting minimum volumes of 25,000 barrels, for deliveries into the first full pipeline cycle available for trade in the market.

New assessments would reflect sulfur max 15 ppm, cetane min 40 and undyed for ULS specs for diesel and heating oil, and sulfur max 3,000 ppm for jet fuel, and other specifications equivalent to Colonial Pipeline's 54 grade for jet fuel, 62 grade for ULSD and 67 grade for ULSHO.

These assessments can be found on Platts Global Alert pages 480, 481, 482 and 410 as well as US Marketscan and Platts Oilgram Price Report.
