SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes Lome delivered bunker fuel assessments

Platts proposes to launch two new delivered bunker fuel assessments for Togo's Lome bunker fuel market, reflecting the value of 380 CST bunker fuel and Marine Gasoil, sold basis Lome anchorage. These assessments would be launched with effect from October 3, 2016.

Platts understands that Lome has grown as a bunkering location in West Africa and now regularly sees around 100,000 mt of bunker deliveries every month. The port plays a key role in price bunker price formation across the region.

Platts is seeking feedback on the specifications and volumes of bunker fuel traded at Lome, as well as the typical delivered stem sizes.
