SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to clarify NWE gasoline barge basis labeling

Following a formal feedback period, Platts confirms it will clarify the basis labeling of its three Northwest Europe gasoline barge assessments in its market price assessment database with effect from January 2, 2015. The three assessments are Gasoline Eurobob FOB ARA Barges, Gasoline Premium Unleaded 10 ppmS FOB Rotterdam Barges, and Gasoline Regular Unleaded 98 FOB ARA Barges. With effect from January 2, Platts will rename the three assessments "FOB AR" to reflect the basis assessed. These assessments, which reflect barges typically loading basis Amsterdam/Rotterdam (AR), will continue to be assessed as they are currently. The way they are presented in European Marketscan and on Platts Global Alert will also be unchanged. The three assessments are currently published in the Platts price assessment database under codes ABWGT00 (Gasoline Eurobob FOB ARA Barge), ABWGX00 (Gasoline Premium Unleaded 10 ppmS FOB Rotterdam Barge), and AAQCH00 (Gasoline Regular Unleaded 98 FOB ARA Barges). Platts welcomes all further feedback and questions to europe_products@platts.com, with a cc to pricegroup@platts.com.
