SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to include Barcelona in FOB Med gasoline cargo assessment and MOC

Platts proposes to include Barcelona in its FOB Mediterranean gasoline cargo assessment and MOC process following a review.

Platts proposes to publish bids, offers and trades for gasoline cargoes loading FOB Barcelona. The assessment reflects cargoes loading FOB basis Santa Panagia Bay or Sarroch 10-25 days from the date of publication, with value normalized to reflect the mean value of the delivery period. Loadings taking place in other Mediterranean locations may be considered in the MOC assessment process and normalized back to reflect value basis Santa Panagia Bay.

Barcelona is an active blending and storage hub in the Mediterranean, where a range of market participants operate. The location would be added to the eWindow software in due course.

Please send any comments, questions or feedback by Friday September 1, 2017 to europe_products@spglobal.com and pricegroup@spglobal.com.

For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
