Chemical tanker owners have good reason for optimism after a couple of bleak years, according to UK shipbroker Braemar ACM.
The company’s lead chemical analyst, Ben Cooke, told TradeWinds: “We are entering a very interesting time in this market.”
Last summer, Braemar launched a joint venture with Womar Chemical Tanker Pools that aimed to independently benchmark the earnings of the deepsea J19 market, covering stainless steel ships between 19,000 dwt and 22,500 dwt.
