VLCC price and freight rate m $ ‘000 $
Historic market – why? • Record demand - unforeseen • Commodity squeeze -Tight oil supply - record consumption • Oil production > consumption 2 and 3Q04 - high price and production • Low stocks, or do we know? • Persian Gulf long haul export up + 2.6 mbd • Fleet increasing - but less than demand? • Phase out of SH • Phase in of DH • Moderate sales for decommissioning before 2010 • Restricted shipyard capacity
