Market definition

Voyage basis

Voyage freight from US Gulf Coast to Singapore for a VLCC carrying the stated cargo size, published in USD/mt. It is not a Worldscale quotation, a lumpsum, a TCE, or a physical commodity assessment.

Origin

US Gulf Coast

Destination

Singapore

Vessel class

VLCC

Cargo

The published cargo size is 270,000 mt of cargo on a VLCC. It is cargo tonnage, not vessel deadweight. A different cargo size or vessel class is a different series.

Loading window

Loading window is not specified for this Series.

Publication schedule

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

Assessment cutoff is not specified for this Series.

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-USGC-SIN-VLCC-270 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.

Parent methodology
