Jan 3rd, 2025: Top Reported Dirty Spot Charterers for 2024*
Relative to last year, there are a few changes in our annual
rankings for 2024. While Unipec remained on top, its
reported cargo volumes and market share dropped slightly for
the second year running, illustrating a softening economy and
a slowdown in Chinese oil demand growth. Another notable
change was the entry of Polish charterer PKN Orlen in the top
20 (at #16) for the first time as it diversifies its crude oil
supplies away from pipelined Russian barrels to seaborne
crude from the Middle East and the North Sea, among others.
On a global basis, both Cargo volumes (+0.8%) and the
number of Fixtures (+2.3%) were up in 2024 versus 2023.
