Sale & Purchase, New buildings & Demolition

Our Sale and Purchase service is underpinned by an expansive network, enabling our brokers to engage in global markets for the sale, purchase, newbuilding and demolition of various vessel types. This comprehensive approach ensures that our clients receive tailored solutions for their specific needs.

Our S&P brokers collaborate closely with our Time Charter & Projects desk, providing clients with not only timely and accurate charter market information but also opening avenues for relevant period chartering opportunities.

In response to escalating regulatory pressures and the growing imperative to reduce environmental impact, we are at the forefront of assisting clients in addressing sustainability concerns. Whether guiding them through the selection of fuel-saving technologies for a newbuild vessel or facilitating environmentally conscious vessel recycling, our team is dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of regulatory compliance while promoting environmentally responsible practices.

Tanker Market Report 11.04.25

Price Pressure

With all the turmoil in the global financial markets, oil prices have come under pressure not seen since the pandemic. Prices began their heavy slide last week and fell 18% to a four-year low, before recovering to $64/bbl, as Trump paused his reciprocal tariffs (except China) for 90 days. US trade policy was of course the primary driver, but perhaps most surprising of all, was the timing of OPEC+’s decision to accelerate production increases at a time when the demand outlook is turning increasingly bearish. Prices are likely to remain volatile as markets react to ever changing US trade policy, but for now remain significantly off where they began the year.
