Freight Market Summary
Clean Tankers – The U.S. Gulf clean‑product tanker segment remains under pressure. Available prompt tonnage continues to outpace demand from Latin America and the U.S. East Coast, compelling owners to offer deeper discounts. Overall sentiment remains weak as November progresses.
Crude Tankers – Long‑haul crude freight continues to be supported by structural constraints: extended voyages, rerouting around high‑risk zones, and fewer available ships are helping sustain rate floors. However, new fixture activity remains modest, suggesting limited upside without a demand boost.
LNG Shipping – The Atlantic Basin LNG freight market remains tight. Vessel supply is limited, routes are getting stretched due to seasonal/demand factors, and charterers are actively covering forward. The market remains elevated.
Dry Bulk / General Shipping – The broader dry‑bulk market picked up some momentum, with indices rising modestly this week. Even though demand remains patchy, improved buying sentiment and tighter spot availability helped stabilize rates toward week’s end.
Outlook – The freight market remains clearly bifurcated: the crude and LNG sectors hold structural support, while clean product tankers continue facing headwinds from oversupply and tepid export demand. Unless cargo flows accelerate or supply tightens further, pressure on clean tanker rates is likely to persist.
