Anonymous, arms'-length tanker market rate quotations produced by a standing panel of established US tanker brokerage firms who are ASBA members bound to its Code of Ethics. Created specifically to give an independent, non-conflicted reference for the charge on oil cargo movements, the output is a daily assessment series built from broker submissions rather than from AIS inference or modelled rates. The byproduct asset is not only the published rates but the panel mechanism itself: decades of anonymised member quotations, lane by lane, with the panel-formation and antitrust-compliance framework documented — a rate history with an auditable governance trail that no modern aggregator can reproduce.
