European biofuels and chemicals barge MOC dates ahead of Aug. 31, 2026, bank holiday

Effective Aug. 26, Aug. 27 and Aug. 28, 2026, and in line with the published holiday schedule, Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, will reflect bids, offers, and trades of biofuels and chemicals barges that load six to 15 days forward, not the usual three-to-15/five-to-15 days forward in its European Market on Close assessment process. The assessments continue to reflect the usual three-to-15/five-to-15 days forward date range.
