Market environment and fleet employment

• Product tanker market supported by global GDP growth, OPEC+ production adjustments, and shifting trade flows due to sanctions and geopolitical events.

• Geopolitical conflicts and trade restrictions are reshaping trade routes, increasing ton-mile demand, and supporting charter rates.

• MR2 tanker supply is rising, with a 6% net fleet growth expected in 2026, but new orders are slowing and scrapping of older vessels is anticipated to increase.

• Modern MR2 tanker values have firmed, with newbuild and secondhand prices up 8–28% over historical averages.

• Dry bulk sector outlook is balanced, with demand growth driven by China and India, and secondhand vessel values supported by improved freight markets.
