Frontline is struggling to find any negatives for crude and product tankers in very positive markets.

Chief executive Lars Barstad said a realisation of industry forecasts of oil consumption of 103m or 103.5m barrels per day (bpd) in December is all that is required to keep rates motoring along.

This is an extra 2m bpd of demand, and could be achieved simply by China stimulating its economy, the Frontline boss believes.
