Traders Charter Supertankers Amid Signs Of New Oil Glut

Traders Charter Supertankers Amid Signs Of New Oil Glut
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


The world’s top oil traders have been chartering dozens of supertankers for potentially storing oil at sea amid signs that demand recovery has stalled.  

Trafigura has chartered 12 very large crude carriers (VLCC), which can collectively hold 24 million barrels of oil, sources with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg. Another 18 supertankers have also been booked by companies including Vitol Group, Shell, and Lukoil, according to lists of bookings of shipbrokers seen by Bloomberg.

BP is said to have provisionally booked a supertanker to hold oil in floating storage offshore Malaysia, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing Refinitiv Eikon data and industry sources.

BP managed to snap up the supertanker at the lowest rate so far this year, according to the data, at $20,500 per day for three months, with the option to extend the charter for another three months at $22,000 per day, according to one of Reuters’ sources.

Day rates for supertankers have tripled in a week, TankerTrackers.com co-founder Samir Madani said.

While there is movement in the supertanker charter market, some of it could be attributed to the widening contango in the oil futures curve, but some could just be the low freight rates, compared to this year’s highs at the end of March and early April when demand was crashing while Saudi Arabia was on a tanker-chartering spree to flood the market with oil.

“Much of the recent temptation to lease vessels for storage reflects more the decline in freight rates than a return to super contango,” analysts at Citi told Reuters.

Yet, in recent weeks, the contango—in which prices for delivery at later dates are higher than front-month prices that typically points to oversupply—has deepened, and starting to open the so-called ‘contango plays’ in which oil traders store oil to sell it at a profit at a later stage.
