What These Assessments Measure

CommodityScope publishes separate indicative spot freight assessments for clean petroleum product cargoes from the Mediterranean loading area to Black Sea.

This page covers MR cargoes of 30,000 mt. It is maintained as a distinct series under the CommodityScope methodology.

Each assessment represents CommodityScope's estimate of the freight market level for its stated basis on the assessment date. It is not a vessel-specific offer, confirmed fixture or agreed charter-party rate.

Computed Summary — MR · 30,000 mt

Calculated by CommodityScope from the USD/mt observations of MR · 30,000 mt only. Each statistic states its observation period and calculation method.

  1. The latest assessment of $46.92/mt on 2 November 2026 is unchanged from the previous assessment of $46.92/mt on 30 October 2026.

    Method: Absolute change equals the latest assessment minus the previous available assessment. Percentage change equals that difference divided by the previous assessment, multiplied by 100. The two observations are three calendar days apart.

  2. Across the 45 available observations from 1 September 2026 to 2 November 2026, the highest assessment was $47.80/mt on 22 October. The lowest was $15.79/mt on 1 September.

    Method: Minimum and maximum of the available assessments within the stated period. These are extrema of the available history, not all-time market records.

  3. The latest assessment is 18.6% above the October 2026 average of $39.57/mt, the most recent completed month with 22 daily observations.

    Method: Arithmetic mean of the daily assessments in October 2026. Months still in progress are excluded from this comparison.
