Major impact on trade
Drewry’s topical report is of great strategic value for charterers, owners and brokers to establish which operators control vessels, where they are trading and what their operational comparisons are. Findings include:
Ocean chemical tankers may be encouraged to trade to 30 years and beyond, thus continuing to service the vegetable oil trade.
Accelerated removal of single hull, mostly non-IMO, vessels generally referred to in the past as “vegetable oil or molasses” tankers.
The overall market absorbs and adapts to changes, but becomes more tied to the fluctuations of the clean petroleum and chemical markets.
Report purpose :
Drewry's Chemical and Product Tankers topical report was prompted by the recently agreed revisions of the IMO IBC Code, and MARPOL Annex II, which led to the re-classification of oils and fats, and certain other important chemical cargoes. Drewry’s overall objective is to determine the impact of these changes on the chemical and product tanker shipping industry.
Drewry started its analysis based on the independent Intertanko study of the chemical and products tanker fleets and of the available tonnage, involving over 1,100 vessels. The broad assumptions made within the study are examined by Drewry in its quest for accuracy and correct interpretation.
Introduction
Ten years ago, shortly after the 1993 implementation of double hull requirements for all new buildings in the product trade, the estimated volume of oils and fats moved by sea was around 25 million tons. This volume did not require IMO class tonnage for shipment, but could be carried by practically any ship possessing an NLS certificate. Since then the IBC Code and MARPOL Annex II have been under full review by the IMO.
