• This analysis is amazingly accurate. Made in 1875 by Samuel Benner shows periods of panic, good time to sell assets and good times to buy.
• If you look at the top row it actually predicted great depression, WW2, dot com bubble and the COVID crash.
The world is running short of available supertankers just as oil flows are becoming increasingly tight.
US Gulf → Asia freight is now adding ~$26/bbl, roughly a quarter of WTI’s price.
For VLCC owners, this is a remarkable freight environment.

A clear majority (eyeball: 80-90%?) of tankers present in and around Hormuz strait are sanctioned ones.
Probably not news to insiders, like @TankerTrackers who got me the sanctions-list, but it was to me.
@IndiaPostOffice can you please advise how much time will it take for EK864260172IN & EK864260186IN. It has been 6 days for Banglore - Pune delivery. Booked on 15-Jan! Items reached Pune but not delivered.
Two days to the launch of the expedition to Oman. We are of course carrying basic communications equipment to keep in touch with the Indian Navy control room, but were wondering how to provide live updates to the public during the voyage. So very pleased to have been lent an Airtel OneWeb LEO transmitter that will allow satellite connectivity. We will use it sparingly as we have limited battery capacity but hope to upload images and videos along the way. Follow @INSVKaundinya for updates
@rajeevjassal Capt saab, totally agree. Heard a horrific VHF call at a Gulf Port: Port officials denied a seafarer medical attention, claiming it wasn't an 'Emergency' (only amputation/death risk counts). 😡 This needs to change. #Shipping#Seafarers#MaritimeSafety
