TANKER

摘要

1. LR rates soared as Red Sea cargoes from the newly started Yasref refinery pulled vessels from the Middle East and Europe. 2. VLCC earnings hit seven-year highs with MEG-Japan peaking at around $92,000/day due to delays in Asia and high MEG exports. 3. Suezmax markets were hampered by a prolonged slowdown in enquiry and the cancellation of a number of SOMO loadings from Ceyhan. 4. Aframax rates dropped to year-to-date lows on a range of routes, as temporary supports in Europe and Asia (including short-term storage and fuel oil timecharters) receded.
