Rotterdam ARA

Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp — the dominant Northwest European refined-products hub.

ARA (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp) is the dominant Northwest European refined-products hub. Storage, blending, and trading activity centres around Rotterdam. Platts Cargoes NWE assessments use ARA as the physical reference point.

Any listing claiming "Rotterdam origin" with no named terminal (Koole, Vopak, Oiltanking, Evos, etc.) is a scam tell.

Related: Platts, Dutch-Procedure.
