Gasoil 500 ppm / 50 ppm (AGO)

Automotive & industrial gas oil for markets outside EN590

Gasoil is diesel by another name, and the grades differ almost entirely on sulphur. EN590 10 ppm is the European automotive standard and has its own page. This page covers everything else: 50 ppm automotive gasoil, which is now the floor in ECOWAS, East Africa and much of Asia; 500 ppm, still imported by markets whose standards lag and by mines and power producers; and the 0.1% and 0.5% industrial and marine grades that feed generators, boilers and, as MGO, ships. The rest of the specification follows the same pattern across grades: cetane number or index at 48–51 minimum, density 820–870 kg/m³, flash point 60–66 °C minimum depending on the standard, distillation with 90% recovered by 360 °C, cold-flow properties (cloud and CFPP) set to the destination climate, water and sediment, ash and carbon residue. Cold flow is the one that catches buyers, because a summer-grade cargo into a highland or winter market gels in the tank.

Buy gasoil as a cargo when you are a fuel importer, a power producer or independent power plant running diesel generation, a mining operation with its own storage, or a bunker supplier; parcels run from about 5,000 MT coastal to 30,000–40,000 MT in an MR, priced as a differential to the published gasoil assessment for the loading region. The West African, East African and Indian Ocean markets on this desk take Gulf, Indian and Mediterranean cargo. We work one way: a named refinery or term holder, a stated quantity and laycan, independent inspection at load, and payment against shipping documents under a documentary letter of credit; nothing is quoted until the title holder and loading terminal are known to us. CBIL brokers 50 ppm, 500 ppm and industrial-grade gasoil on FOB, CFR and CIF terms.
