Second North Sea-Asia VLCC booked for July: brokers

摘要

Despite challenging arbitrage economics for North Sea crude delivered into Asia, a second tanker with a more than 2 million barrel-capacity was reportedly fixed to export Forties to South Korea, according to shipbroker reports Tuesday. In the first fixture reported on the route this week, Shell was heard to have placed the Maran Thetis VLCC on subjects at $4.75 million for a Hound Point-South Korea voyage on July 20. A chartering source at Maran Tankers declined to comment on the fixture.
