North Sea to Northwest Europe Tanker Rates Surge

OIL

Some oil tankers are achieving over $100,000/day in Europe according to Baltic Exchange data reported by Bloomberg, surging to the highest levels since late 2022.

  • The move is driven by ships travelling longer distances and a risk premium added because of Middle East escalations.
  • Vessels moving crude from the North Sea to mainland Europe were earning $101,000 a day this week according to the Baltic Exchange – twice the year-to-date average.
  • Increased cargo flows in the Atlantic basin and seasonal factors have added support according to Jeffries analysis.
