SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to reflect new Russia rail tariffs in netbacks

Platts intends to change the railway tariffs reflected in its Russian refined oil product netbacks with effect from August 11, 2014, to reflect updated tariffs that are expected to come into effect on August 9. Platts previously intended to change the tariffs from July 30, 2014 as they were expected to be changed from August 1, but Russian Railways made the tariffs effective from August 9. Russian Railways is expected to increase export shipment tariffs for fuel oil, gasoline and jet by 13.4%. For export diesel shipments tariffs will rise 12.5%, with the exception of export shipments to Far East ports which will increase 13.4%, according to Russian Railways.
