Core Viewpoint - The shortage of oil tankers is becoming increasingly severe, leading to new vessels being sent empty to destinations to load crude oil instead of their usual first voyage transporting refined products [1] Group 1: Industry Trends - This year, six supertankers have been delivered and are traveling empty from East Asia to the Middle East, Africa, or the Americas to load crude oil, whereas only one supertanker did this last year [1] - Typically, new shipowners prefer to have their vessels carry refined products like gasoline on their maiden voyages due to cleanliness and the need for less cleaning afterward [1] Group 2: Regional Dynamics - East Asia is a significant region for importing crude oil and exporting refined products, making the routing of new vessels for this combination more convenient [1]
