S&P Global Platts has moved swiftly to add ports in Asia and the US to its recently launched daily European methanol bunker fuel price assessments.

The proposal, which takes effect on 25 October, follows the recent launch of the first methanol bunker fuel assessment in Rotterdam which began on Monday.

The pricing agency has chosen Singapore, the world’s largest bunker port, and Houston, America’s top bunkering destination, for the new assessments.
