Shipping poised to profit from rapidly fragmenting system of global trade
- VLCC rates are rising because tariffs and sanctions ‘swayed certain nations’ habits’ on crude sourcing, says Frontline’s Lars Barstad
- Bulkers and VLGCs operated by Chinese companies are not calling in the US Gulf, creating fleet inefficiencies
- Fragmentation of global trade should benefit larger shipping companies with flexible fleets, says Norden’s Jan Rindbo
