Tanker Opinion/ Original (Englisch)

• Sanctions Gain Teeth 16/07/10
  With the enactment of a new U.S. sanctions regime earlier this month, the tanker industry has once again found itself drawn directly into the fray surrounding Iran. On July 1st, President Obama signed the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010, imposing further restrictions on business dealings with Iran. These unilateral sanctions were designed to reinforce a new set of UN sanctions passed in June by attempting to further limit Iran’s critical need for refined product imports, highlighted in the chart below. While companies actively engaged in such trades will likely have long suspected such a tightening was forthcoming, the wide-ranging nature and stiff penalties contained within the recently-passed law warrant close attention.
  

• Unwinding Subsidies 09/07/10
  Alongside China, India has emerged as an important driver of many of the trends expected to determine the direction of future oil and tanker markets. Its rapidly-growing economy has been important in shifting the center of oil demand growth eastward. Additionally, its export refineries have impacted both regional and international refined product trade flows. In a development likely to churn future oil and tanker markets, in late June, India moved to begin phasing out its subsidies for transportation fuels. The decision is an important step for balancing the Indian economy and may eventually provide an example for other countries looking to make similar changes in the years to come.
  

• Harbinger Wind? 02/07/10
  After threatening to follow a path that some projections showed would send it through the heart of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Alex weakened into a topical depression which broke up over central Mexico this week. Alex peaked on Wednesday as a Category 2 storm which forced the temporary closure of more than 20 percent of domestic crude oil output and delayed ongoing efforts to clean and contain oil spewing from the nearby Macando well. While the storm seems to have spared the Gulf of Mexico the worst of what was feared for it, Hurricane Alex serves as a warning that the region will likely confront significant weather-related challenges before the hurricane season reaches its height in September.
