63 days left to IMO 2020

There are 63 days left to IMO 2020 and the IMO fuel spread is close to a year-high of USD260/tonne. We have already seen how finely-tuned the supply/demand balance is to disruptions (Cosco sanctions), which have propelled VLCC rates close to an all-time high in October. We forecast 2019 VLCC rates of USD38k/day (YTD USD34k/day), increasing to USD51k/day for 2020, which makes us optimistic on pay-out ratios for 2020. In this note we also publish our Q3 previews and ESG sections.
