Are tanker markets stabilising — or is softness quietly building beneath the surface?

Find out in this episode of Weekly Tanker Market Podcast, where Research Analyst Himani, the host, welcomes shipping & commodities expert Sandesh Ghandat for a comprehensive breakdown of the latest developments across the Crude, Clean Petroleum Products (CPP), and LPG markets.

From steady yet cautious VLCC sentiment and rangebound Suezmax conditions, to corrective pressure in LR and MR segments and a cooling VLGC market — this episode unpacks freight rate movements, tonnage availability, forward curve signals, refinery shifts, and emerging structural risks shaping global tanker trade.

With clean tanker fleet growth accelerating into 2026 and geopolitical trade realignments reshaping tonne-mile demand, we explore whether current softness is cyclical — or structurally engineered.
