-- 火曜日に発表されたアルガス社の分析によると、中東紛争の継続により原油タンカーがペルシャ湾に入港できなくなり、大西洋および欧州市場で船舶の供給過剰が生じ、タンカー運賃は戦前の水準まで下落している。 アルガス社のデータによると、黒海・地中海航路のスエズマックス型タンカーの運賃は、タンカーの供給過剰により2日間で50%下落し、最近1トン当たり27.69ドルまで下がった。この運賃は、戦争開始前日の1トン当たり24.08ドルから、3月下旬には1トン当たり57.19ドルまで急騰していた。 アジア行きタンカーについては、CPCブレンドやBTCブレンドといった大西洋産原油の需要が堅調であるにもかかわらず、運賃は下落した。 アルガス社によると、米国メキシコ湾岸およびガイアナから欧州に向かうスエズマックス型タンカーの運賃は、戦争開始以来の最低水準まで下落した。 同様の傾向は超大型原油タンカーにも見られ、通信社が引用した傭船会社は、戦争開始以来最低の運賃で米国メキシコ湾岸からの積荷用船舶を予約した。 欧州のアフラマックス型タンカーの運賃も下落した。これは、ホルムズ海峡の閉鎖によりイラク産原油が供給されなくなったため、地中海沿岸の製油所がリビア産原油に切り替えたことで需要が増加したにもかかわらず、スエズマックス型タンカーの運賃と競合するためと考えられる。
