Petrochemical freight
Platts petrochemical freight assessments are assessed daily

polymer freight (every Wednesday)
London 16:30 – Liquid chemical freight & gas chemical freight

(every Friday)
Houston 13:30 – Liquid chemical freight & gas chemical freight

(every Friday)
Size and specifications: The tonnage specified in the Platts

assessment tables represents the weight of the cargo carried.
Platts may normalize freight rates for charters of a different size
for assessment purposes, including pro-rating the market rate
to the size of the cargo reflected in the assessment.
Timing: Assessments reflect prompt fixtures, according to

prevailing regional market practice.
