What This FOB West Africa Price Represents

Daily FOB West Africa jet fuel cargo assessment 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.

SeriesWhy compareLatestDifference (this − other)
Jet Fuel — Lome
STS Lome · USD/mt · daily
Same jet fuel in the same region on STS Lomé instead of FOB West Africa terms; the gap contains freight/insurance or barge-vs-cargo logistics, not quality.
  • Different delivery terms (FOB vs STS); 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
Jet Fuel
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 West Africa
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 series basis names this series as “Jet Fuel” and does not specify a fuller specification; none is assumed here.
  • The available history for this series is short (it starts later than the other West African series).

Specification · series name and basis only

The series basis does not specify a product specification beyond its name and basis; none is assumed.

Basis: FOB West Africa

  • 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.
  • Lomé (Togo) hosts an offshore ship-to-ship transfer zone in the Gulf of Guinea used to redistribute imported products along the West African coast.

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 aviation fuel pricing by region; compare with 10 ppm gasoil in the same basis for the jet–diesel differential.

What it is not suitable for

  • Into-plane airport prices, which include throughput and handling fees.
