SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts discontinues Portland, Oregon, bunker fuel assessments

S&P Global Platts has discontinued its ex-wharf and delivered bunker fuel assessments of IFO 380, IFO 180 and marine gasoil in Portland, Oregon, effective September 22, 2016. This discontinuation also included the Portland bunker barging rate and all relevant monthly average assessments.

This decision was originally announced April 29, 2016, following a March 24 proposal note and period for feedback.

The discontinuation reflects changing market conditions in the Pacific Northwest bunker market, particularly Portland, where Platts has observed diminished market liquidity.

These assessments are published on Platts Marine Alert, Platts Bunkerwire, Platts Bunkerworld, Platts Global Alert pages 860-863 and 866-867, and the Platts price assessment database under the following codes:
