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-TWD-CAPE-PERSIAN-GULF-MEDITERRANEAN-SUEZMAX-140 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.
