SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts adds a new BASF additive in Singapore gasoil cargoes

Following feedback on its announcement on March 1, 2017, on a review of additives reflected in its FOB Singapore gasoil assessments, Platts confirms it will begin to reflect the new additive from June 16, which has been used around the region.

The additive is Keroflux 6170, which is used by refiners in South Korea. Platts understands that the additive has also been accepted for use in cargoes transported through Australia's multi product pipeline systems.

Platts proposed the inclusion of this additive, and others, in a subscriber note published on March 1, 2017. (http://www.platts.com/subscriber-notes-details/27780475)
