Tanker Market Outlook

Market Reports, 18/06/2019

The reply from the industry on the present outlook of the tanker- market is positive. Shipowners are currently stating “the market turned for the better last year”.

Market Reports, Uncategorized, 18/03/2019

What is interesting to see is that an Aframax today earns almost twice as much a Suezmax in the spot market. Last week, we also saw jump towards the 20s for 12 month TC contracts, which are now $ 19500 per day. Aframax – 12 month.
