No Changes At The Top

08 Jan 2016:  Top Reported Dirty Spot Charterers for 2015  When reviewing our latest rankings, nobody will be surprised to see that Unipec remained the largest dirty spot charterer in 2015, a position they are unlikely to lose anytime soon, despite slowing oil demand growth in China.  The most significant movers in the ranking last year were IOC (from 10^th in 2014 to 4^th 2015, Litasco (from 11^th to 8^th) and Bahri (from 23^rd to 12^th).  Some of the large, established supermajors are dropping down the list.  ExxonMobil fell modestly from 4^th to 5^th, while BP dropped from 5^th to 10^th in the ranking.  A notable new entrant on number 17 in the top 20 was commodities trader Trafigura.  As a reminder, these rankings are all based on reported spot fixtures.
