World Maritime News: Poten & Partners: Brexit Could Boost UK – EU Crude Oil Trades

27 June 2016: “The UK’s vote to exit the European Union after being a member since 1973, could have a positive impact on the tanker market in terms of movement of oil products between the UK and EU countries, according to Poten & Partners. “Poten & Partners said that the exit vote came as a shock and, as a result, currency, commodity and stock markets are in turmoil across the globe. “The short-term economic and political impact as a result of the heightened uncertainty and the long-term implications will only become clear when new trade agreements are being negotiated, which could take several years, according to Poten & Partners.”
