No tankers are coming through #Hormuz. In fact, 1 is on fire & nobody will insure the rest.
Meanwhile, #fraud #traitor #Paedophile #rapist @realdonaldtrump is telling the #VLCC owners to "power through" as though they were at Orange Theory w/ a personal trainer, rather than facing a fiery death.
#VLCC pressure from the past 2wks is starting to shift to #Suezmax. Mar-26 Laycan fixtures already at 22, the highest all time (post covid). Expect 8-9 more #stems, plus 3–4 VLCC cargo splits moving to Smax. India is emerging as the key pivot after 6 Suezmax #fixtures last week.
🛢️ The crude tanker market is on fire:
#VLCC spot rates hit ~$200k/day — a new high. #BRAZIL #China freight surge crushing #Tupi #Crude differentials to all-time lows (-$6/b vs Dated #Brent). #Canadian heavy crude discounts widening sharply as #WCS Hardisty hits -$15/b vs #WTI

Distress signals being reported from a #VLCC in Caribbean waters, apparently BELLA 1 (IMO 9230880, 161,233 gt, built 2002, previously Panama flag & Lloyds Register class until last year). Ironic, coming from a ship which is stateless, with no call sign nor MMSI. Maybe another USCG PSC inspection?
