Tariffs create uncertainty \u2013 tanker market remains strong<\/h4>

Tanker market conditions remain healthy, with average crude tanker earnings rising above $53,000 per day for the first time in 11 months. The gain was driven by further strength in Suezmax and Aframax rates. Meanwhile, product tanker earnings eased by 8% week-on-week to $22,007 per day, as volatility in financial markets weighed on sentiment in the MR segment.<\/p>

US\/China friction causes VLGC disruption<\/strong>
In the VLGC market, rates saw a steep correction amid escalating US-China trade tensions. Spot earnings on the Ras Tanura\u2013Chiba route dropped by 62% week-on-week to $14,590 daily, marking the lowest level since September 2024 and the sharpest weekly decline in over a decade. While spot rates are currently weak, this appears to be a short-term shock. The market is expected to stabilize once trade war uncertainty eases.<\/p>

Car carrier market on the mend after tough months<\/strong>
In the PCTC segment, global car sales rebounded in March, rising 8% year-on-year, supported by strong demand in the UK, Japan, and the US. This marks a welcome return to growth after several slow months, although March is typically a strong month seasonally. Encouragingly, the US also signalled possible flexibility on vehicle tariffs, which could support trade flows and sentiment in the car carrier market in the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
