@mercoglianos.bsky.social🚢Oversupply fears are tempered by an ageing fleet, and canal, port and war disruptions that have pushed vessel demand well above cargo growth 🚢The bigger risk: a firm 2027 could spark a 2013-style ordering spree of up to 140m dwt, setting up a genuine supply overhang for 2028 and beyond
@mercoglianos.bsky.socialOrderbook doubles, scrapping stalls: why dry bulk is not worried about 2027 yet
🚢Orderbook has doubled to 15% of the fleet, with a record 52.1m dwt due in 2027 and scrapping near a standstill
@mercoglianos.bsky.social🚢VLCC volumes were particularly hard-hit by the Hormuz crisis. They are now back in line with the 2021-2025 average
🚢Rebound has been driven by revived exports from the Middle East, which now account for 40% of global crude seaborne flows vs a low of 20% in May
@mercoglianos.bsky.socialGlobal crude exports have recovered from Hormuz crisis, but can it last?
🚢Volume of global seaborne crude exports is back to year-ago levels and up 10% vs 2021-2025 average, according to Vortexa data
@mercoglianos.bsky.socialVLCC rates push to $1.2m per day for Gulf of Oman loading
