Location: Platts in 2002 formalized that the basis of its 0.2%
FOB Med assessment includes material from Black Sea ports,
when these form a significant part of the trade.
Timing: Reflects material for delivery 10-25 days from date of
publication, with prices normalized to the mid-point of this
delivery window.
Other: The FOB assessment is typically calculated as a freight
netback from the Genoa and Lavera, using a worldscale rate
published in Platts Clean Tankerwire and a basket of flat rates
including typical routes within the Mediterranean from Black Sea
ports. The routes include origin ports Tuapse, Novorossiysk,
Batumi and Odessa and destination ports Genoa/Lavera. Effective
Jan 2, 2008 the Worldscale basketflat rate used to calculate FOB
Med 0.2 assessment is $9.03. FOB Med gasoil 0.2% is assessed as a
freight differential to the CIF Med gasoil 0.2% assessment. The
actual freight applied to the netback will fluctuate daily based on
changes in Platts BSea-Med assessments in the Clean Tankerwire
for 30,000 mt cargoes applied against the respective 2008 flat
rates.
Background: The assessment was introduced in December 1991.
