Aframax
Cargo
The published cargo size is 80,000 mt of cargo on an Aframax. It is cargo tonnage, not vessel deadweight. A different cargo size or vessel class is a different series.

Publication schedule
Daily cadence. Updates follow the daily publication cycle when a qualifying market observation is available. Each value retains its assessment date.

Exclusions and related markets
- A Worldscale quotation for the same trade lane is a different quoting basis, not this Series.
- A cargo grade is not specified for this Series. It is not inferred.
- A different vessel class or cargo size, voyage TCE, physical crude assessments and Crude Delivered Cost are different publications.
The Assessment Midpoint of CS-TFR-DRT-AG-RSE-AFRAMAX-80 is formed from this Series’ own USD/mt voyage-freight observations. No related series enters the Assessment Midpoint. Under Dirty Tanker Methodology 1.0, qualifying same-date USD/mt observations from other dirty tanker route or barge series on the same published trade lane may support Assessment Range construction.
Comparability is evaluated against the stated basis; adjustments apply only where the family methodology defines them.
