What This FOB Med, East Med basis Price Represents
Daily FOB Mediterranean naphtha cargo assessment on an East Med basis, 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.
Different delivery terms (FOB vs CIF); the gap may reflect freight, insurance, location basis, parcel and timing differences and is not a trading margin.
| Series | Why compare | Latest | Difference (this − other) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Naphtha — Mediterranean CIF CIF Med · USD/mt · daily | Same naphtha in the same region on CIF Med instead of FOB Med terms; the gap contains freight/insurance or barge-vs-cargo logistics, not quality. | 874.00 21 Oct 2026 | not directly comparable |
| Naphtha — Northwest Europe CIF NWE / ARA basis · USD/mt · daily | CIF NWE naphtha: the Northwest European delivered value in the same unit. | 909.50 21 Oct 2026 | not directly comparable |

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
- Naphtha
- Product quality
- Open-specification naphtha as typically offered for petrochemical or gasoline-blendstock use. CommodityScope does not assess a named paraffin, density or sulphur specification.
- Location basis
- FOB Med, East Med basis
- 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 “Naphtha” and does not specify a fuller specification; none is assumed here.
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 Med, East Med basis
- East Med basis: the assessment basis specifies the eastern Mediterranean as the loading reference for this cargo quote.
- 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 Mediterranean basis covers cargo loadings (FOB Med, typically Italian ports) or deliveries (CIF Med) within the Mediterranean basin.
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 cracker-feedstock costs by region; compare with gasoline in the same basis to read blending economics.
What it is not suitable for
- Converting between USD/bbl and USD/mt without a density assumption.
