A US decision to allow more ethanol content in petrol this summer could have a knock-on effect for Atlantic MR tankers, broker BRS Group argues.
The country’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a temporary increase in sales of the E15 blend, which has an ethanol content of 15%.
The move has been made to reduce the potential of supply disruptions stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and tensions in the Middle East, BRS said.
