Platts proposes to discontinue Bio-Bunkers B30 FAME 0 Rotterdam calculated price from Oct. 1

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to discontinue its Bio-Bunkers B30 Rotterdam FAME 0 calculated price from Oct.1, 2025.

The proposed discontinuation of the calculated price reflects the industry's growing need for market-based price assessments of bio-bunkers as well as the move away from typical crop-based feedstock as per Fuel EU maritime legislation.

The affected assessments are as follows:

The assessments are published in the Bunkerwire Report, Biofuelscan report and Biomass-Based Diesel Report, Platts Biofuel Alert pages 2500 and 2502, and in the Platts price database under the codes above.
