SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts launches laycans for Japan domestic oil products on PGA

Platts will start publishing two half-month laycans for Japan domestic oil products' waterborne price assessments on PGA on page 2016 and on the Platts Japan website in Japanese (https://jpn.platts.com/jpn/), effective August 1.

As mentioned in a separate subscriber note published August 1, Platts has amended the loading laycans reflected in all the waterborne price assessments of its Japan domestic oil products to align them more closely with prevailing industry conventions, with effect from August 1, 2016.

Until the end of July 2016, Japan domestic oil products' waterborne price assessments had only been published on the Platts Japan website.

In the Platts database, the Japan domestic oil products' waterborne price assessments will be published under the following codes:
