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
HSFO 380 CST
Product quality
Product as labelled by the series name and location basis. CommodityScope does not infer a fuller chemical or contractual specification.
Location basis
FOB Arab Gulf
Parcel basis
Typical physical cargo as transacted on the stated location basis. CommodityScope does not fix a standard parcel 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.

Terms not specified

  • The sulphur limit of the assessed grade is not printed in the published row.

Specification · stated in the assessment basis

  • 380 CST = maximum viscosity 380 cSt at 50 °C, from the series name.

Basis: FOB Arab Gulf

  • 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.
  • The Arab Gulf basis refers to loadings from refineries and terminals inside the Persian/Arabian Gulf (e.g. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar), west of the Strait of Hormuz.

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

  • Follow HSFO values used by scrubber-fitted vessels and power/refinery feedstock buyers; the East–West spread compares Singapore with Rotterdam.

What it is not suitable for

  • Compliant bunker pricing for non-scrubber ships (that is the 0.5% series).
