SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Specifications for US Gulf Coast Export ULSD assessment

Please note that the Platts assessment for US Gulf Coast Export ULSD reflects the French Winter specification of EN590 ULSD for the entire year, with a maximum sulfur content of 10 ppm and SG in the range 0.82-0.845. The reference density is 0.845 g/l. This assessment was launched on December 1, 2014.

This reflects the fact that US diesel exports will move to both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, to both European and Latin American destinations.

Bids, offers and transactions for other 10 ppm grades, such as UK or German specifications, or summer grades, for USGC export, will be considered in the assessment process and normalized to the base assessment. Bids and offers for ULSD that are not for French Winter specification of EN590 ULSD must be clearly stated as such at the time of submission to Platts for publication.

This assessment is found on PGA Page 481 and in Platts US Marketscan under the code AAXRV00 for cents/gal and AAXRW00 for $/mt.
