Size: Barge assessments reflect parcels of 1,000-5,000mt each.<br />
Location: Gasoline barges are typically basis<br />
AR(Amsterdam/Rotterdam). Any transactions occurring at other<br />
loading ports in NWE (including Antwerp) are normalized to AR<br />
basis on an incremental freight differential basis into the main<br />
consuming area, which is typically Germany.<br />
Timing: Reflects material for loading 3-15 (Monday-Tuesday) or<br />
5-15 (Wednesday through Friday) days from date of publication,<br />
with prices normalized to the mid-point of this loading window.<br />
Other: Because this assessment is illiquid, it is generally<br />
established through a differential to Prem Unl barges.<br />
Background: Platts has made a number of changes in recent<br />
years in the maximum sulphur content in line with EU<br />
regulations on gasoline quality. Eff Jan 2 2002, Platts Unl 98<br />
assessment reflected 50ppm sulfur material in line with<br />
prevailing market trends. Platts clarified that in 2001 the Unl 98<br />
assessment already incorporated 50ppm as the traded grade in<br />
ARA. Platts introduced experimental 10ppm barge assessments<br />
for the above, effective 1 October to 31 December 2002 to run in<br />
tandem with 50ppm barge assessments. Unleaded 98 FOB<br />
Rotterdam barge assessments have reflected 10 ppm maximum<br />
sulfur effective 2 January 2003.<br />

number of changes in recent years in the maximum sulphur<br />
content in line with EU regulations on gasoline quality. Platts<br />
introduced a 50ppm assessment for premium unleaded barges<br />
FOB Rotterdam as an experimental assessment effective 1<br />
October 2001 to run until 31 December, 2001. The premium<br />
unleaded barge assessment became 50ppm on Jan 2, 2002.<br />

Quality: Assessments reflect Benelux spec material, and are<br />
based on specific gravity of 0.755 grams per liter, the RON is<br />
typically 95 and the MON 85. The assessment reflects a<br />
maximum sulfur of 50 ppm. Aromatics limit is 35 max.<br />
Location: The 50ppm barge assessment reflects spot activity in<br />
the Amsterdam Rotterdam and Antwerp area, with the value<br />
normalized to Rotterdam basis.<br />

Background: The 50 ppm barge assessment was introduced April<br />
1, 2004. Prior to that Platts had assessed the 50 ppm market as a<br />
differential to 10 ppm (see barge differnenial assessments below).<br />
