Cargo Basis Differential Clause Samples
Cargo Basis Differential. If the pricing basis for a Cargo negotiated between Seller and a third party supplier is based on [REDACTED] index pricing for the Cargo Bank Hedge-Month then the Cargo Basis Differential for such Cargo shall be $[REDACTED] if the pricing basis negotiated by Seller with the third party supplier is not based on [REDACTED] index pricing for the Cargo Bank Hedge-Month (such as a transaction based on “Dated ▇▇▇▇▇” pricing) the Cargo Basis Differential will be [REDACTED].
