Specifications, coverage and how to compare
Trading Basis & Assessment Specifications
Asian and Gulf series are named by viscosity grade (380 or 180 cSt) and quoted FOB in USD/mt; European series are named by sulphur content (3.5% or 1.0%) with barge, cargo and delivered-bunker variants kept separate. The Singapore–Rotterdam differential is published as the Fuel Oil East–West spread; it is a price difference, not an arbitrage margin.
- Grade naming: Asian and Gulf series are named by viscosity (380 cSt) and quoted FOB in USD/mt; European series are named by sulphur (3.5%, 1.0%) and include a 500 cSt Rotterdam grade.
- Parcel: FOB Rotterdam barges (source delivery-basis table) vs CIF NWE / CIF Med / FOB Med / FOB NWE cargoes; the Rotterdam bunker 380 CST series is a delivered bunker value.
- Sulphur of the Asian/Gulf 380 cSt grades is not printed in the published rows.
Hub Coverage
- 15 series with a loaded observation; 15 daily and 0 weekly.
- Units: USD/mt (15).
- Delivery terms in the basis column: FOB (9), CIF (4), DELIVERED (1), no Incoterm stated (1). Different delivery terms are not interchangeable; the gap may reflect freight, insurance, basis, parcel and timing differences.
- Latest assessment date: 21 Oct 2026.
How to Compare These Series
- All series in this hub are daily assessments; the change shown compares two consecutive daily readings.
- FOB series (9) price the cargo at the loading port; CIF series (4) include freight to the named destination. Compare within one delivery term; the gap between terms may reflect freight, insurance, location basis, parcel size and timing, and is neither a margin nor a freight rate.
Based on each series' frequency, delivery term, unit and type. No average across bases or units is computed for this hub.
