European MDO/MGO assessment separation

Effective December 14, 2009, Platts will publish values for marine gasoil and marine diesel oil separately in the European ports of Gdansk, the Great Belt, St. Petersburg, Gibraltar and Algeciras, Ceuta and Las Palmas.

Currently, the assessment of marine diesel oil and marine gasoil at these ports is combined, with the low representing the MDO assessment and the high, the assessment for MGO.

It was earlier announced that these changes would be made effective January 4, 2010.
