Freight Market Summary
• Clean Tankers – Market tone remains heavy in the U.S. Gulf, where prompt availability continues to outpace demand. Activity into the Caribbean and South America is steady, but not aggressive enough to lift sentiment. Rates are under pressure as owners compete for limited stems.
• Crude Tankers – VLCCs continue their Cape of Good Hope routing, absorbing global tonnage and helping maintain firmness in Middle East–Asia lanes. However, with cargo programs softening slightly, owners may see growing resistance on rate ideas if fresh demand doesn’t emerge.
• LNG Shipping – The Atlantic LNG market remains tight, with spot availability low and voyage durations extended. Seasonal weather and port delays are limiting flexibility, supporting a bullish freight backdrop. Any surprise demand could stretch capacity further.
• Overall Market View – Freight rates remain propped up by structural inefficiencies in routing and weather delays. Clean markets remain soft, crude is stable with a bullish undertone, and LNG continues to hold its strength into Q4.
