As of August 4, 2026, this global Penetration Bitumen 60/70 comparison presents publicly supportable FOB/FCA planning indications from USD 295–750/MT across 12 verified export countries and benchmark origins. The hub universe was rechecked against recognized price-assessment methodology, recent cargo activity, tenders and dated exporter indications. Values are non-binding and the newest public input date differs by hub; final price depends on grade, producer, packaging, quantity, loading point, documents, compliance, payment route, freight availability and shipment timing.

Penetration Bitumen 60/70 Country Average Price Map
All map labels and table prices are indicative USD/MT values on FOB or FCA basis only.
Methodology and Commercial Scope
Basis
Only FOB and FCA indications are displayed. Seaport cargoes are FOB at the named loading hub; inland production and border-corridor rows are FCA at the stated handover point.
Data hierarchy
Priority is given to recognized Argus or Platts/S&P methodology, current cargo reports and tenders, followed by dated public exporter indications. Regional grade proxies are labeled explicitly.
Commercial use
These values support comparison and budgeting, not contract settlement. A firm quote requires exact grade, COA or producer, quantity, packaging, loading hub, shipment window, documents and payment terms.
Global Penetration Bitumen 60/70 Price Indications
Singapore
Singapore remains the primary transparent Asia-Pacific Bitumen 60/70 benchmark. The bulk range reflects the latest August FOB Straits market indication; packed values use the latest dated public Singapore export indications for 180 kg drums and 1,000 kg jumbo bags.

China
South China remains an active export origin under the recognized FOB South China assessment. The named terminals cover Hainan and Guangdong refinery supply. The range retains the latest publicly supportable July export level because newer domestic futures are not equivalent to an FOB cargo price.

Usage and Risk Notes
- The report was compiled on August 4, 2026; the newest public evidence varies by hub and ranges from early July to August 3, 2026.
- FOB or FCA indication does not confirm physical allocation. Verify terminal acceptance, seller authority, vessel or truck nomination, banking, insurance, sanctions and compliance before contracting.
- South Korea, South China, Northwest Europe and Mediterranean rows may use the nearest liquid regional grade benchmark. Confirm exact PEN 60/70 compliance through the current COA and contract specification.
- A country is priced only when an identifiable loading origin, supportable grade or packaging scope and sufficiently recent FOB/FCA market evidence are available.
- A binding quotation requires quantity, exact specification, producer, packaging, loading point, destination, shipment window, inspection scope, documents and payment terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Bitumen 60/70 prices firm offers?
No. They are dated public market indications and planning ranges. A binding offer requires live allocation, confirmed loading point, quantity, packaging, shipment window, compliance approval and a time-limited quotation.
Why are some grades shown as market references?
Liquid regional benchmarks do not always use the exact 60/70 designation. South Korea may reference PEN 60–80, South China AH-70, Northwest Europe 40/60 and the Mediterranean 50/70. The current COA must match the contract.
Why are some exporting countries not listed?
Export activity alone is insufficient. A country is shown only when a current or supportable FOB/FCA basis, identifiable loading origin and defensible grade or packaging scope can be presented without false precision.
What should an RFQ include?
Provide grade and standard, producer or brand preference, quantity, packaging, loading hub, destination, shipment window, inspection scope, required documents, Incoterm, payment route and compliance constraints.
What information is needed for an RFQ?
Send grade and standard, quantity, packaging and net weight, preferred origin, destination, shipment window, Incoterm, inspection requirement, payment terms and required export documents.
How often should a buyer reconfirm the price?
Reconfirm before contracting and again before vessel or container booking. During volatile feedstock, freight, geopolitical or port conditions, validity may be limited to a few business days.
