The Chemical Tanker Market update
En 2025, les taux TCE ont commencé à baisser, mais ce processus a été interrompu en 2026 en raison de la fermeture du détroit d’Ormuz. Les taux TCE des pétroliers de type MR ont réagi rapidement en raison de leur exposition accrue au marché au comptant. Cela pourrait constituer un précédent pour une hausse des taux sur le marché des chimiquiers.
What Is Driving The Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rates In The Chemical Tanker Market?
- Steadily growing global chemical tanker volume in line with global economic growth
- Geopolitical disruptions cause trade dislocations and a higher tonne-mile demand
- Limited swing tonnage from product tankers, due to a strong market that is estimated to remain for the time-being
- Insufficient orderbook due to high newbuild prices and an ageing existing fleet
Over the last four years, the chemical tanker operators have had TCE rates allowing them to generate cash.
