Tanker markets rocketing, dark fleet gets darker, ‘green corridors’ questions and seismic Baltic tweeks

In this episode US Bureau Chief Eric Priante Martin looks at the bullish tanker markets who are reaping the benefits of a solid market.

We visit the TradeWinds Shipowner Forum in Singapore where discussions turned to possible impact of elections (think 2nd term of Trump in the US) on shipping markets, and also at the whole idea of green corridors and they they my be flawed.

Then back to the tankers market and the growing dark fleet taking oil cargoes from Russia, Venezuela etc in contravention of sanctions and price caps. We look at the numbers with Windward.
