Asia physical gasoil, jet eWindow launch deferrred

Platts has deferred the launch of eWindow technology for the Asian Market on Close assessment process for physical gasoil and jet fuel cargoes from the previously planned date of September 27, 2011, due to technical reasons.

The new launch date will be notified as soon as it is finalized. Participants in the Platts MOC assessment process will be able to submit bids and offers for publication directly through the eWindow software, or through an editor, who would then publish the bids and offers using the software.

Platts expects credit relationships that prevail within its assessment environment to fully reflect relationships in the markets as a whole.

Where Platts editors publish bids and offers on behalf of a company that submits data to an editor, counterparty credit settings are set to "open" for regular participants in the assessment process, unless companies have notified Platts in advance of any restrictions.

If you are submitting information through an editor and have not already notified Platts of any counterparty credit restrictions, please provide notification at least one hour prior to the start of the MOC process if any counterparty credit filters need to be modified.

eWindow provides direct entry and management of credit filters, which should be those normally applied in the marketplace, for companies participating directly through the software.

Platts provides training to participants interested in learning the use of the software.

For any questions or comments, please contact Sharmilpal Kaur or Jonty Rushforth at +65-65306575/+65-65306581 or via yahoo at platts_jet.
