Platts amends clean tanker basket flat rates for Suape related routes Oct. 1
Following the recent Worldscale Association update to port fees for Suape, Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has amended the Worldscale flat rate baskets used in $/mt calculations for two of its clean tanker routes, effective Oct. 1, as follows:
| Assessment Name | Daily Symbol | Monthly Average Symbol | Current Basket Flat Rate ($/mt) | Updated Basket Flat Rate ($/mt) |
| Clean UKC-Brazil | UBMWB00 | UBMWB03 | 18.85 | 18.94 |
| Clean USGC-North Brazil | TCAFS00 | TCAFS03 | 16.19 | 16.27 |
The relevant Platts Clean Tanker TCE flat rates have also been updated as necessary to reflect this amendment.
The affected assessments appear in Platts Clean Tankerwire, Platts Clean Tankerwire Monthly, Brazil Fuels Daily, on Platts Shipping Alert pages: 1320, 1321, 2320, 2321, 2501, 2502, 0014, 0015, 0020, 0021 on Platts Tanker Alert pages 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 0071, 0070, 0044, 0045 as well as in the Platts price database under the codes above.
