The Chemical Tanker Market update
En 2025, las tarifas TCE comenzaron a bajar, aunque este proceso se detuvo en 2026 debido al cierre del estrecho de Ormuz. Las tarifas TCE de los buques cisterna de productos MR reaccionaron rápidamente debido a su mayor exposición al mercado al contado. Esto puede sentar un precedente para el aumento de las tarifas en el mercado de los buques cisterna para productos químicos.
