SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to launch Lome delivered bunker fuel assessments

Platts will launch delivered bunker fuel assessments for Togo's Lome bunker fuel market, reflecting the value of 380 CST bunker fuel, 180 CST bunker fuel, and marine gasoil, sold basis Lome anchorage, with effect from October 3, 2016.

This decision follows a proposal note requesting feedback, published July 22, 2016 and which can be viewed at the following location: http://www.platts.com/subscriber-notes. Platts understands that Lome has grown as a bunkering location in West Africa, catering to tanker traffic from Nigeria as well as many other types of vessels, and that the port plays a key role in bunker price formation across the region.
