The Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) has applauded Platts’ recent move to approve four terminals in southern Malaysia as part of the free-on-board (FOB) Straits oil benchmark pricing which is the process of price assessment for refined oil products.

The four terminals are Pasir Gudang, Tanjung Langsat, Pengerang and Tanjung Bin.
