Safety4Sea: Top Dirty Tanker Routes in 2015
10 Aug 2015: “For many years Poten has kept track of and reported on the largest dirty spot charterers based on reported spot fixtures. Poten uses the same data to rank the busiest dirty tanker routes worldwide, comparing the data of the first 7 months of 2015 with the same period of last year. As with the top charterer ranking, it is important to keep in mind that Poten & Partners uses reported spot fixtures for this analysis and the actual cargo movements are significantly higher. It should also be noted that the use of private cargoes and charterer controlled tonnage is more prevalent on certain routes than on others.”
