Tanker transits through the Suez Canal have hit record levels so far in 2020 despite demand hits from the coronavirus pandemic.
Data from Leth Agencies and the Suez Canal Authority highlight how the roller coaster ride of rates has boosted the number of ships using the Egyptian waterway to 31 May.
In April, 457 tankers passed through, but this was beaten in May as 485 transits were made, a record monthly figure.
