11 Οκτωβρίου 2021.

tanker796VLCC

The Far Eastern holidays meant that activity eased back this week, although there were a few reported fixtures in the Middle East and West Africa, with rates remaining flat.  In the Middle East Gulf 280,000mt to US Gulf (via the Cape/Cape routing) is still at the WS20.5-21 mark while 270,000mt to China was a steady WS40.5-41 (showing a roundtrip TCE of about $1.7k per day).

In the Atlantic, rates for 260,000mt West Africa to China were static at WS42.5-43 level (a TCE of $5k/day roundtrip) and 270,000mt US Gulf to China rose $220k to $5.375m (a TCE of $9.8k per day roundtrip).

 

Suezmax

 

In West Africa the rate for 130,000mt Nigeria/UK Continent was boosted by 10 points to a touch over WS64 (a roundtrip TCE of about $3.2k/day), while the rate for 135,000mt Black Sea/Med saw a similar rise to WS73 (a TCE roundtrip of about minus $100 per day). The Middle East market continues to be active with reports of a few fixtures at WS30 and then WS35 and we are now seeing this in the assessment of 140,000mt Basrah/Lavera at WS35.5, up eight points week-on-week.

 

Aframax

 

In the Mediterranean, the market firmed and broke through the WS100 barrier on the back of steady enquiry and a tightening position list. Rates for 80,000mt Ceyhan/Lavera rose seven points to WS107 ($8.2k per day TCE roundtrip), while in Northern Europe the market for 80,000mt Cross-North Sea saw rates improve nine points to just short of WS106 ($170/day TCE roundtrip). Rates for the 100,000mt Baltic/UK Continent route progressed 15 points to WS78-78.5 region (a TCE of about $3.8k per day roundtrip).

Across the Atlantic, the market moved up with rates for the 70,000mt US Gulf/UK Continent 7.5 points firmer than a week ago at WS88 (a TCE of $890/day roundtrip) while the shorter local voyages regained some of their recent losses. Rates for 70,000mt Caribbean/US Gulf are up nine points to WS105-106 level (a TCE of $170/day roundtrip) and 70,000mt East Coast Mexico/US Gulf is six points higher than last week at just below WS92 (which shows a roundtrip TCE of close to minus $900/day).

 

Clean

 

The Middle East Gulf has generally continued to trade off this week. The LR2s to Japan appeared to lack cargoes, evident by the drop in rates to sub WS100. TC1 has dropped 6.5 points to WS97.43, a round-trip TCE of $5,458/day. The LR1s have seen steady activity and freight levels have only dropped WS2.14 points this week. TC5 55k Middle East Gulf / Japan is now at WS102.86. On the MR 35k Middle East Gulf / East Africa (TC17) there has not been sufficient demand and freight levels have fallen to WS172.92 (-WS21.66).

Downward pressure in the Mediterranean Handy market this week as tonnage has been building up and TC6 30kt Skikda / Lavera has been tested down to the WS125 region. The LR2s TC15 80k Mediterranean / Japan saw less activity than previous weeks and are subsequently marked at 1.775m for now. The Baltic Handy market has also dropped off and TC9 30k Baltic / UK-Continent has ended up at WS120 (-WS10.36).

On the UK-Continent, MRs enquiry levels - combined with no signs of tonnage thinning out and bunker prices still up - is maintaining the current status quo. Both TC2 37k UK-Continent / US Atlantic Coast and TC19 37k Amsterdam to Lagos are as WS100.

On the LR1s, TC16 60k Amsterdam / Offshore Lomé have resettled at the WS85 mark after a brief surge to WS87.5 early in the week.

In the Americas healthy activity levels look to have dampened this week and the list of available vessels has regrown. TC14 38k US Gulf / UK-Continent has dropped WS6.07 to WS73.93 and TC18 35k from US Gulf / Brazil has followed suit and also come down WS6.79 to WS115.71. The MR Atlantic basket TCE dropped from $2860/day to $1129/day.
