Maybe the first tentative signs that we have seen the worst of it now and that the WTI collapse was the bottom - it looks like we might see an improvement in fortunes today?
Investors are certainly looking for green shoots - the Dow rose sharply last night on news that the Coronavirus could be killed off by strong sunshine - true or false - who knows.

They are saying that there were leeks from OPEC members and traders benefited - more like the traders observed how the OPEC members were trading themselves and followed their lead - from the two main players down the pecking order.

Loading finished around 19.30BST - around 27 hours. HK is showing a draught of 12.5m - look like a good load.

HK is on her way to Scapa Flo for a STS with Orphaes - this tanker is around the same size as HK so this could be a larger than average load - no indication on where Orphaes is heading yet - that could be the interesting bit?

26.5 hours and counting - good load!!!

You could say that about a very high proportion of companies listed on the LSE - not just oil companies - including quite a few FTSE100 companies - stop bleating man - we just have to live with it - good times are just around the corner - maybe?

13 hours and counting.

This is probably an impossible ask but what the oil industry needs - all producers - everywhere in the world - is to shut down all production for 90 days - it would obviously cause pain in the short term but the long term gain would make it the best option.

How's that for a stupid comment!!!

The oil price looks dire this evening - it would be interesting to know how much storage capacity the US have left - a tweet by Trump that he is going to put x amount of crude into store might not be great for the long term but it sure would help now.

I think that the fact that Kraken Crude goes for bunkering is certainly good news - its much more likely to find a buyer - it looks like this load isn't going to Rotterdam - its heading for a STS in Scapa Flo - maybe the slow boat to Singapore? - by the time it gets there market conditions might have improved.

We have a hook-up - about 16.30BST this afternoon - 1 and a half hours ago - that's 14 days since the last tanker left from memory. Weather is a flat calm as it gets and staying that way.

Hello Squif
No, I am still here - HK is still just waiting east of AK - so nothing to report - just bloody busy at the moment 24/7.

We are up to 14 days but with the loads going straight to Rotterdam for bunkering they could be any size - HK is one of the largest in the fleet.

The question with online grocery shopping is basically the same one that Amazon answered when it was just selling books - how big can this get?
Anyone can sell goods from their shop by picking them up off the shelf - putting them in box and delivering them - the corner grocer has been doing that for years - remember Granville on his bike in Open all Hours.
However, not ever one can build a bloody great big warehouse stuffed full off robots and a cost effective logistics network - which brings us back to the question that Amazon asked - how big can it get?
Ocado had just 1.4% of the UK grocery market in August 2019 - how big can it get???

No lasting damage done I don't think - simply a reflection of the lockdowns around the world - the only thing is that if it happens once it can happen again - volatility isn't good for oil companies of any size.

The main thing with Enquest over this troubled period is that all three of its main assets continue to perform consistently well.

If that happens then the business pulls though, the skies the limit when Brent hits the inevitable spike - if it doesn't then we are down in the depths with the Kraken.

Russians live for pain - its the eventual goal that matters for them - the more vindictive the better - that's why they love Trump.

Party time in Riyadh and Moscow.

The thing is though that no one is actually trading at thee levels - its all technical - but it must be causing damage and confidence will be shot.

My screen has stopped on 0.001 - obviously doesn't have a negative function.

What a low to test!!!
