Dark transits are believed to be much higher as vessel operators and commodity buyers prefer to switch off their…

The freight surge signals that crude oil and refined products continue to flow but are becoming increasingly costly to transport out of the Gulf region to global markets. According to Bloomberg, US Gulf-to-Asia shipments on very large crude carriers…
