Requesting feedback on proposal to adjust European barge loading periods in assessments

Effective January 2, 2012, across all its refined products assessment processes, Platts proposes to reflect material loading 5-15 days forward on every publication day.

This differs from the current process whereby on Monday and Tuesday Platts reflects material loading 3-15 days forward and on Wednesday through Friday Platts reflect material loading 5?15 days forwards.
