Hello Matrix I hope you are correct about Amunsden Spirit - it certainly fits. I am not sure about Cherokee though - she already seems to have a load ???

Cont... Also Amunsden Spirit is on her way to Aberdeen to wait for orders - currently off the Yorkshire coast. So we have three contenders for load 13

No definite tanker action yet - Natalita is still at Scapa Flo. Oceania is probably Alvheim bound. Scott Spirit is waiting for orders at McDuff.

This is worth a read - https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-norway-oil-analysis/offshore-oil-industry-suppliers-fight-to-be-fit-for-frugal-future-idUKKCN1HD1XF

Absolutely excellent - this means that they have worked through the whole commissioning process and then got to the final addition of the gas power system. It has been a long haul with AK but ENQ are now within touching distance of their goal !!!

Brent seems to have bounced off the late February high of $67.50 and is heading up again after todays good inventories. Hopefully we should get back towards $70 soon.

Yep and they are only going to get better !!!

Quite agree - 75% of the shares are owned by just a handful of institutions, they haven't sold. It seems a few sales and low volume have pulled the SP down - most investors have just sat on their hands. A good buying opportunity for those with the bottle !!!

I think the shorts are feeding on the uncertainty and jumping into action every time POO dips. The trouble now is that there is nothing to counter that when POO rises because the volume is so low - hence the drift down. But it is short term irritation - we need a game changing event.

I think that GSA are simply dabbling short term with the tail end of their investment and will continue to do so dependent on market conditions. What we need to get the SP going is an increase in volume.

Is gradually recovering and hopefully the Dow will recover some of its losses this afternoon - so things could look better by the close today. Bad news though when idiot politicians start meddling - especially Trump.

I think #13 will be on the 8th April with Natalita. I think AK already has at least 200k on board - the order for Southport was for a set amount as usual. Also Natalita was the only tanker available for #12 and she had to come from Rotterdam at speed - Teekay were very stretched at that point after being one tanker down.

Southport is on her way to Port Arthur Texas. Natalita isn't sailing until midday on the 7th April - I wonder !!!!

Just a minimal load I am afraid - draught is only 11.5m. I am guessing mainly from Navalita - Britannia's problems probably meant that she didn't have enough crude on board to discharge all her ballast ???

Back a bit but Dow currently down 2.82% - all a consequence of Trumps stupid trade war with China. A simple case of risk aversion.

Transfer has now finished and both vessels are apart but still waiting for Southport to change her draught stats.

Goldigler I think you figures just underline how conservative ENQ were with their projections in the February update. Not that that is a bad thing - in fact it could help improve the companies reputation if they surprise the market with better than expected figures next time around.

The transfer continues....

The timetable has now been extended - Southport is now scheduled to leave Scapa Flo 24 hours later than originally planned at 08.00 on Tuesday morning. Natalina is scheduled to leave at 12.00 on Tuesday. Plenty of time to pump Southport full of crude.

Natalina is just being pushed the last few yards towards Southport by the tugs and I guess pumping should start around 6-7pm.
