Gasoline 92 / 95 RON

Unleaded motor gasoline, 92 & 95 RON, 10–150 ppm sulphur

Motor gasoline is contracted on octane and sulphur first and on a dozen supporting numbers after. Research octane number, 92 or 95 (with 91, 93 and 98 in some markets), is the grade; sulphur at 10 ppm for EN 228 and ECOWAS-aligned markets, 50 ppm and 150 ppm where the national standard still allows it, is the second and the one that has moved most in the last decade, with the AFRI-6 and ECOWAS 50 ppm rules closing the door on high-sulphur cargo in West Africa. Behind those sit Reid vapour pressure, seasonally set for the destination's climate, benzene at 1% maximum, aromatics and olefins limits, oxygenates and ethanol content, distillation points, density, gum, oxidation stability and lead at nil. A cargo certificate that meets octane and sulphur but fails RVP for a tropical port is a cargo that cannot be discharged.

Buy gasoline as a cargo when you are a state importer, a licensed marketer or a distributor with tank capacity: parcels run from about 5,000 MT in a coastal tanker to 30,000–40,000 MT in an MR, priced as a differential to the published assessment for the loading region (Eurobob or Mediterranean for Atlantic cargoes, Arab Gulf or Singapore for the Indian Ocean). Two markets sit on this desk: West African importers taking ECOWAS-grade product, and East African and Indian Ocean buyers taking Gulf-loaded cargo. We work one way: a named refinery or terminal, a stated quantity and laycan, an independent inspector 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 92 and 95 RON gasoline from Gulf, Mediterranean, ARA and Indian refineries on FOB, CFR and CIF terms.
