SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts discontinues CFR South China gasoil 0.2% assessments

S&P Global Platts has discontinued its assessments for CFR South China 0.2% sulfur gasoil with effect from October 1, 2018.

The discontinuation decision was published on May 10 and can be viewed at https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/051018-pl atts-to-discontinue-cfr-south-china-gasoil-02-assessments-oil

The discontinuation stems from a lack of liquidity in the market underlying these physical assessments, as the supply of spot gasoil cargoes from those locational hubs have decreased over the years.

The daily CFR South China 0.2% gasoil assessments can be found on PGA 2404, 2405, and PGA 2450 and 2451, and on the Platts Asia Pacific/Arab Gulf Marketscan.

Details of the discontinued assessments are as follows:
