What This FOB ARA Price Represents
Daily FOB ARA assessment of 10 ppm sulphur diesel barges in USD/mt.
Compare With
Each comparison states why the series are related and whether the latest values can be subtracted directly (same unit, currency and assessment date). Where they cannot, the values are shown side by side without a difference.
| Series | Why compare | Latest | Difference (this − other) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ULSD 10ppm — Northwest Europe CIF NWE · USD/mt · daily | Same 10 ppm diesel/ULSD in the same region on CIF NWE cargo instead of FOB ARA barge terms; the gap contains freight/insurance or barge-vs-cargo logistics, not quality.
| 1470.50 21 Oct 2026 | not directly comparable |
| Gasoil 0.1% — ARA FOB ARA · USD/mt · daily | Different grade or specification in the same market: 0.1% gasoil vs 10 ppm diesel barges.

CommodityScope Assessment Basis
This is the CommodityScope series definition for the published midpoint and assessment range. Characteristics that are not part of this basis are not inferred.
- Product
- Diesel 10ppm
- Product quality
- Maximum 10 ppm sulphur, as labelled for this series. Other chemical properties are not implied.
- Location basis
- FOB ARA
- Parcel basis
- Typical ARA barge parcel as transacted in the inland-waterway market. CommodityScope does not fix a standard barge tonnage.
- Delivery / loading period
- Not fixed in the published series basis.
- Assessment window
- CommodityScope daily assessment dated as of the published assessment date.
- Currency / unit
- USD/mt
- Normalization
- Inputs used for the midpoint and the assessment range are considered only after they can be expressed on this series basis and unit. Cross-unit values are not converted on the public site and are not mixed into this series.
Specification · stated in the assessment basis
- Maximum 10 ppm sulphur, from the series name.
Basis: FOB ARA
- FOB ARA: the assessment basis lists diesel 10 ppm barges as FOB Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp.
- FOB (free on board): the price covers the product loaded on the vessel at the named origin; sea freight and insurance to the destination are excluded, so FOB values from different loading areas are not delivered-cost equivalents.
- Barge-based ARA/AR/FARAG values refer to inland-waterway barge parcels in the Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp area (FARAG adds Flushing and Ghent); they are smaller lots than seagoing cargoes and are not the same market as CIF NWE cargoes.
- ARA is the Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp port and refining complex on the North Sea, linked by the Rhine to inland Europe; barge values here are inland-waterway parcels.
Unit: USD/mt
- USD/bbl values (Singapore, Arab Gulf, Fujairah) and USD/mt values (Europe, Japan naphtha) cannot be compared without a product-specific density conversion; the site does not convert them.
- CommodityScope publishes a midpoint and an assessment range around that midpoint; the range is an uncertainty interval, not a bid/offer spread. Charts and monthly statistics use the midpoint only.
How to use this series, and what it is not for
How to use this series
- Track the level and direction of one market over time using the chart, monthly averages and the recent-assessment table.
- Compare markets only after checking unit (bbl vs mt), delivery term (FOB vs CIF) and parcel type (cargo vs barge).
What it is not suitable for
- Retail pump prices: these are wholesale cargo/barge values before taxes, distribution and margins.
- Arbitrage calculations between basins: the FOB/CIF gap may reflect freight, insurance, basis, parcel and timing differences and is not an executable arbitrage.
- Intraday trading: values are end-of-day assessments, not live quotes.
Product and market references
