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.

SeriesWhy compareLatestDifference (this − other)
Fuel Oil 3.5% — Rotterdam
FOB Rotterdam · USD/mt · daily

Fuel Oil 1.0% — Northwest Europe
CIF NWE · USD/mt · daily
Same 1.0% fuel oil in the same region on CIF NWE cargo instead of FOB Rotterdam barge terms; the gap contains freight/insurance or barge-vs-cargo logistics, not quality.
  • Different delivery terms (FOB vs CIF); the gap may reflect freight, insurance, location basis, parcel and timing differences and is not a trading margin.

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
Fuel Oil 1.0%
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 Rotterdam
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.

Specification · stated in the assessment basis

  • Maximum 1.0% sulphur, from the series name.

Basis: FOB Rotterdam

  • FOB Rotterdam: the published delivery-basis table lists fuel oil 1.0% as FOB Rotterdam.
  • 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.
  • 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

  • Follow low-sulphur residual values relative to 3.5% fuel oil in the same basis.

What it is not suitable for

  • Marine 0.5% compliant fuel pricing.
