Crude oil cheaper but hikes in tanker fares to fill it

New delhi date. 11 March 2020, Wednesday

Differences between Saudi Arabia and Russia, the two largest producers of crude oil, have led to a sharp rise in demand for crude at the back of crude oil prices. Due to the increase in demand, the price of the tanker for filling crude, especially with floating tanker demand, has also increased.

Crude oil prices fell as much as 5 percent on Monday due to friction between Russia and Saudi Arabia. Demand for tankers has become a relief situation for shipping companies as the outbreak of coronavirus has also impacted shipping industries around the world.

Shipping rates for the Middle East to Asia have risen more than 4 percent since last Friday, industry sources said. Some traders are also questioning the tanker for temporarily consolidating the oil.

The cost of renting Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) has recently risen to $ 1 per day, up from $ 6 last week and calling $ 1 a month ago. Large carriers can store up to two million barrels of crude oil.

Due to rising tanker prices, it cannot afford to buy extra crude at a cheaper rate. With the increase in tanker fares, the situation is improving for ship owners as the coronavirus has impacted their trade.

Imports of commodities and other semi-finished goods to China have stalled as a result of the coronavirus. Crude oil prices were the biggest decline on Monday after the Gulf War.
