SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to end USAC distillate cargo assessments

Following a period of industry feedback that ended July 1, 2014, Platts will discontinue multiple US Atlantic Coast distillate CIF cargo assessments effective April 1, 2015. Platts opened this consultation on the future of these assessments on March 14, 2013.

Platts it will discontinue the following assessments in the Atlantic Coast: Boston low sulfur jet kerosene cargo (PJABL00) and ultra low sulfur jet kerosene cargo (AAVTJ00); New York jet fuel cargo (PJAAX00), New York low sulfur jet kerosene cargo (PJABK00) and New York ultra low sulfur jet kerosene cargo (AAVTH00); New York ULSD cargo (AATGW00) and Boston ULSD cargo (AATHD00); New York gasoil No. 2 cargo (POAEH00) and Boston gasoil No. 2 cargo (POAEA00) assessments.

These proposed changes in coverage are in response to evolving market conditions as the Northeast distillates markets are increasingly export, rather than import, markets.

These assessments can be found on Platts Global Alert pages 480, 481, 482, 410 as well as US Marketscan and Platts Oilgram Price Report.
