The Wilhelmshaven port authority first reported that Petroatlantic was due to arrive on the 21st from Lancaster with a 61mt load. That report appeared on the 13th February. To arrive at Wilhelshaven on the 21st they would have had to complete the offload on or before 19th February. If they realistically expected to have a 61mt load (459,600 BBL) by the 19th it is fairly reasonable to assume that on, or earlier than the 13th (when the port received notification of the expected load) the AM had onboard 348k BBL. Anything less than this and it would have been very unlikely they would be able to achieve the target load by the 19th.
OPEC meet on 5th March and OPEC+ on the 6th, and what are the chances they cut production to support poo
IMO HUR have retained a good proportion of their production for the next offload in expectation of a higher price.
