Europe/South Africa and South America Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) is based on rolling three-month averages of the IFO 380 Rotterdam and Houston Fuel Indexes respectively. Adjustments to the BAF are made when the prior month's average exceeds +/- 15%. IFO 380 Rotterdam and Houston Indexes are published at www.bunkerworld.com.
