developed as the demand for oil, and how does it affect the tanker market?
The demand for tanker transportation capacity - and hence the spot market and charter - is directly dependent on the quantity of oil imports.
Last According to estimates, is the Int'l Energy Agency (IEA) this year from a decline in demand of an average of 2.5 million barrels per day (bpd) from.
Accordingly, current from the western industrial nations, only imported 71m bpd, as little as modified in 2003, as was the worldwide tanker fleet over a third smaller.
the IEA forecast for 2010 a new increase in demand of about 1.4 m bpd. In this case, however, a global growth by 1.8% to reason is given. By comparison, the forecast of the International Monetary Fund for next year has just been increased to 2.5%!
What of hopes for an early is to keep the end of the economic and financial crisis, no one can predict with certainty. Thus, in contrast to the IEA, OPEC expects for 2010 a more reduced oil demand.
the optimists were fortunate in that next year, part of the tanker fleet will be scrapped, as have many routes to the uncertain final single-hull tankers out of business.
But be careful: old single-hull tankers are being used more often to less regulated lines and causing in this way not only ecological catastrophe, but continue to carry the massive price pressure in the charter market.
