Product Tankers

H Ευρώπη, no-go zone για το ινδικό ντίζελ;

Στα χαμηλότερα επίπεδά τους από το 2022 βρίσκονται οι αποστολές ντίζελ από την Ινδία στην Ευρώπη τον Φεβρουάριο του 2024, καθώς η κρίση στην Ερυθρά Θάλασσα καθιστά την Ευρώπη «δύσκολο» προορισμό για τα product tankers.

Από την άλλη, πολλά διυλιστήρια στην Ασία πραγματοποιούν εργασίες συντήρησης, γεγονός που, σε συνδυασμό με τον σκόπελο της Ερυθράς Θάλασσας, καθιστά την Ασία θελκτικότερη επιλογή για τους Ινδούς εξαγωγείς.

Όπως σημειώνει δημοσίευμα του Bloomberg, οι αφίξεις καυσίμων από την Ινδία...

Shipping fallout from Red Sea crisis spreads to product tankers

With no end in sight for the Red Sea crisis, detours around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope are soaking up even more vessel capacity and pushing up spot rates across multiple shipping segments.

Freight fallout began with container ships. It is now significantly impacting product tankers — the vessels that transport gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, naphtha and other petroleum products.

Another Panama Canal red flag: Spiking product tanker rates

Shipowners have profited from both. Container-line owners made fortunes during COVID. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine buoyed rates for tanker companies.

Now there’s a new geopolitical crisis — the Israel-Hamas war in response to...
