Tanker Report – Week 35
VLCCs
In the Middle East Gulf, rates have remained under pressure. There is more evidence of a two tier market with older tonnage, or tonnage ex dry dock or newbuildings fixing long east at barely WS 30, while tonnage without any encumbrances is able to achieve levels of around WS 33/34. Going west, 280,000 tonnes to the US Gulf cape/cape is marginally softer at around WS 24, representing a drop of about half a point.
In West Africa, the Eliza fixed to Unipec at WS 40 for 260,000 tonnes to China but with very limited enquiry here and tonnage building in the Atlantic, rates have softened further with Athenian tonnage fixing at WS 37.5 for a run to Taiwan, while the equivalent of WS 33/34 has been done for West Africa/India basis 260,000 tonnes. In the Caribbean, a run to WC India was reportedly fixed at $2.0m representing a drop of around $200,000 from last previously seen here, while in the North Sea, $3.5 million was agreed from Hound Point to South Korea though this deal subsequently failed on subjects. Fuel oil has been fixed from Rotterdam to Singapore at $2.2 and $2.3 million respectively.
Suezmaxes
In West Africa, the market for 130,000 tonnes has settled at between WS 45/47.5 consolidating the previous week’s gains. Steady levels of enquiry, combined with enquiry in other load areas has seen the tonnage list thin significantly. It is a similar story in the Black Sea with rates for 135,000 tonnes still hovering around WS 52.5, and Vitol took Kapsali here at WS 50 basis 140,000 tonnes cargo. There has been renewed interested for longer haul cargoes from Med to Singapore with $1.5 million paid here for crude from Ceyhan.

Schaut her. Da ist doch Leben drin bei den Suezmax Tankern! WS wieder über 50. Hoffen wir, dass die VLCCs nachziehen.
