SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts clarifies vessel performance in European CIF ARA aromatics windows

S&P Global Platts has updated its European petrochemicals methodology and specifications guide to clarify expectations surrounding performing vessels in its CIF ARA aromatics assessment windows. For applicable assessments, Platts will reflect bids, offers and intentions to trade whereby the seller commits to provide a minimum 1 kt parcel, delivered CIF ARA on a barge. The seller may deliver the parcel on a larger vessel if mutually agreed with the buyer. Please send any comments or questions to pl_petchems_ln@platts.com and pricemethodology@platts.com.
