Market Conditions: Despite strong market fundamentals, there are risks of declining vessel values and potential volatility in spot rates, which could impact financial performance.

Regulatory and Sanction Risks: The addition of 409 tankers to sanctioned lists in 2025 and the potential for further sanctions could disrupt market dynamics and fleet operations.

Market Outlook for Clean Products: Volumes in 2025 are above the last 4-year average, supporting market resilience. Q3 shows an uncommon seasonal rise in clean products on water and volumes loaded.

Inventory Levels: Significant inventory draws in 2025 for both dirty and clean trades. Low inventory levels amplify the impact of strong refinery margins and low outages, reinforcing market effects to replenish inventories.
Tanker Supply and Sanctions: Minimal net additional competing deadweight in 2025 due to offsetting factors like vessel aging and sanctioned tonnage. Sanctioned vessels continue to impact fleet supply, with 409 tankers sanctioned in 2025, bringing the total to around 800 tankers trading outside normal market competition rules.

This marks 14 consecutive quarters of dividends, reflecting consistent shareholder returns and a commitment to delivering long-term value.
