Supertanker: Öl-Transporte teuer wie nie – Trafigura plant Börsengang
Der Konflikt um die Straße von Hormus treibt die Kosten für den Transport von Öl auf Rekordhöhe. Das nutzt Trafigura für den ersten Börsengang eines seiner Geschäftsbereiche.
Oslo is currently in a state of emergency due to a historic shortage of supertankers, which has driven oil transport costs to unprecedented levels. The shipping firm Trafigura intends to capitalize on this situation by listing its tanker division, Volare Shipping, on the Oslo stock exchange in October, with an estimated valuation of around $500 million.
The crisis, as reported by Bloomberg, is primarily fueled by the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, as well as the temporary blockade of the Hormuz Strait. This has forced tankers to take longer detours to load their cargo, severely restricting the global fleet's availability. On the reference route from the Persian Gulf to China, Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) are now generating over $1.2 million in revenue per day. These massive oil tankers have a capacity of approximately 200,000 to 300,000 tonnes.
The impact of this shortage extends to smaller ship classes as well. Suezmax tankers, the largest type that can still pass through the Suez Canal fully loaded, are now receiving an average daily rate of over $300,000. Such values are typically only seen in wartime regions.
