Tanker charter rates Middle East-Asia. $31 million per voyage

A brand new VLCC from a Korean or Chinese shipyard delivering this year cost $120M when it was ordered 2 years ago.  At these charter rates it would  pay for itself by Christmas.

Long Frontline and Okeanis, forward dividend rates 25-50%.?

Not to mention the shipping market is HEAVILY mafia-ized.

You have to be China, Greece or Japan for the ships.

They'll never talk to people like us.

Shipping can be volatile as fuq and is often a snake pit filled with related party dealing and self-enriching management but there are a few that have good shareholder rights policies and reporting.

No insurance on that run, maybe $1.2M a year for salaries

A VLCC makes money chartering for $40K A DAY, FOR $500K a day they’re fuqing rolling in it.  That’s why a few are tempted to try it.
