RE:Port loading. Such intrigue !Maxmoe & Goldengreen - thanks for the excellent info. IOC strike should be over by end of May. The last strike in 2007 lasted about 7 weeks.
Todays ship schedule update - still nothing after Lydia Oldendorff

Tempo was 240,000t. Could the shipping agent be trying to book some of those VLOC's?
BIg ships, less costs!
A 400,000t vessel is a big ask as Vale's got most of those but there are quite a few 325,000t carriers around. (Oldendorff has them but mostly on Australia - China contracts).
Hopefully, the next shedule will enlighten?
Have a good weekend.
ps. Quarterly due on Monday (ASX)
