Tanker Market Commentary
Oct. 10, 2014
Clean East | The week is ending on a firm note with LR1s leading the way. High fixture prices of LR1s are reported on all segments, TC5 55,000 x WS117.5, East Africa 60,000 x WS132.5 and US $2 million to the UK Continent. MRs following closely with the ex-AGs being more active. A lack of cargoes for LR2s have put the larger tankers in catch-up mode. Far East shows firmness as several cargoes are being quoted.
