What This CIF NWE Price Represents
Daily CIF Northwest Europe cargo assessment of 10 ppm sulphur ULSD in USD/mt — the delivered value for seagoing cargoes into the ARA area.
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 (CIF vs FOB); the gap may reflect freight, insurance, location basis, parcel and timing differences and is not a trading margin.

| ULSD 10 ppm — NWE FOB FOB NWE · USD/mt · daily | Same product and region on an FOB basis; the CIF–FOB gap may reflect freight, insurance, location basis, parcel and timing differences, not freight alone. | 1451.25 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
- ULSD 10ppm
- Product quality
- Maximum 10 ppm sulphur, as labelled for this series. Other chemical properties are not implied.
- Location basis
- CIF NWE
- 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 10 ppm sulphur (ULSD) — stated in the series name and assessment basis.
Basis: CIF NWE
- CIF NWE: seagoing cargo delivered to Northwest European ports; the value includes freight and insurance to the discharge area.
- Quoted in USD per metric tonne.
- CIF (cost, insurance and freight): the price includes ocean freight and insurance to the named destination area. The difference to an FOB value may reflect freight, insurance, location and basis, parcel size, timing and other market differences; it is not a trading margin and not a pure freight rate.
- Northwest Europe (NWE) covers the Channel and North Sea coast from Le Havre to Hamburg; cargo values here are seagoing parcels, not barges.
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 the level and direction of one market over time using the chart, monthly averages and the recent-assessment table.
- Compare markets only after checking unit (bbl vs mt), delivery term (FOB vs CIF) and parcel type (cargo vs barge).
What it is not suitable for
- Retail pump prices: these are wholesale cargo/barge values before taxes, distribution and margins.
- Arbitrage calculations between basins: the FOB/CIF gap may reflect freight, insurance, basis, parcel and timing differences and is not an executable arbitrage.
- Intraday trading: values are end-of-day assessments, not live quotes.
