Platts to suspend Laurel RBOB, PBOB assessments
New York (Platts)--30Jul2010/1159 am EDT/1559 GMT
Platts plans to temporarily suspend its assessments for RBOB and Premium RBOB
(PBOB) gasoline delivered through the US' Laurel pipeline system from
September 10, 2010, because pipeline owner Buckeye Partners, L.P. will
suspend shipments of the grades in September.
Platts will resume assessing RBOB and PBOB when shipments begin again, on a
date to be determined in the spring of 2011. The 350-mile Laurel pipeline
moves refined oil products throughout Pennsylvania, shipping oil westward from
four refineries and a connection point in Philadelphia to the Colonial
pipeline system to terminals in Reading, Harrisburg, Altoona/Johnstown and
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
