For TD3C, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/mideast-asia-oil-tanker-rates-highest-since-2020-iran-tensions-simmer-2026-02-26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 206k per day<\/a> on 26 February, but after the outbreak of the war it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/middle-east-oil-shipping-costs-surge-all-time-high-us-iran-conflict-intensifies-2026-03-02\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 423.7k per day<\/a> on 2 March, while market benchmarks put early-March assessments in the range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balticexchange.com\/en\/data-services\/WeeklyRoundup\/tanker\/news\/2026\/tanker-report-week-10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 486k<\/a> per day. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gibsons.co.uk\/report\/middle-east-mayhem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gibson Shipbrokers<\/a> had the TD3C route at USD 506k per day late in the first week of March vs USD 215k per day in late February \u2014 a 136% jump in a week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Rates were already climbing before the war:<\/strong> The Middle East-China VLCC route earnings were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/middle-east-oil-exports-push-tanker-costs-6-year-high-amid-threat-us-iran-war-2026-02-24\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> at USD 170k per day on 24 February.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>But the market is also warning you not to take every print literally: <\/strong>Lloyd\u2019s List <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lloydslist.com\/LL1156492\/Crude-tanker-rates-in-unchartered-territory-VLCC-index-tops-420K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flagged<\/a> that extreme index spikes can be driven by very few fixtures and may not hold if agreements fail or remain unconfirmed \u2014 which matters a lot if freight is now indexed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>A quick crash course on how freight forward agreements work: <\/strong>Say, for example, the current freight rate for a VLCC route is USD 40k per day. A trader then thinks rates will spike because of geopolitical risk, so they buy a freight forward contract (FFA) that locks in USD 40k per day for the next month. If the actual rate becomes USD 60k per day, they make the difference \u2014 if it drops to USD 30k per day, they lose. No ship movement, it\u2019s purely financial \u2014 think derivatives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>And a quick translation for non-shipping readers: <\/strong>Tanker freight is often quoted in Worldscale points (WS) first \u2014 a standard reference cost for transporting oil on a route. WS 100 represents the benchmark reference cost of a voyage. TD routes are the benchmark voyages, so when the benchmark Middle East-China route, known as TD3C, jumps to levels like WS 400 or higher, it signals that charterers are paying four times the normal cost for transporting crude. Brokers then convert WS into an earning number (TCE, time-charter equivalent) to express it as USD per day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The domino effect: <\/strong>When TD3C blows out, it pushes the West Africa-Europe (TD20), Black Sea-Mediterranean (TD6), and Atlantic basin routes up as refiners substitute cargoes from outside the Gulf and tanker demand shifts across basins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Supply squeeze and fleet utilization<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The market move makes more sense once you look at effective supply: <\/strong>When ships idle at anchorage, take longer routes, or refuse a zone, you shrink the number of cargoes the fleet can deliver per month \u2014 even if the world fleet size hasn\u2019t changed. Right now, the utilization shock is visible in three hard indicators:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>First, anchorages filled up: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/hundreds-ships-drop-anchor-middle-east-gulf-us-war-iran-escalates-data-shows-2026-03-01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">At least<\/a> 150 tankers dropped anchor beyond Hormuz at the beginning of March, and at least another 100 anchored outside Hormuz along the UAE and Oman coasts. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/london-marine-insurers-still-offering-middle-east-cover-war-risk-rates-rise-2026-03-04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Later estimates<\/a> put \u201cat least 200 ships\u201d (mixed types, including tankers) at anchor off major Gulf producers by 4 March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Second, transit collapsed: <\/strong>Tanker transits \u2014 of all types \u2014 through Hormuz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmto.org\/-\/media\/ukmto\/products\/update-007--jmic-advisory-note-07mar_2026_final.pdf?rev=fcb462eca21b43048c9afb1aebee9d55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fell<\/a> from 50 in late February, hitting almost zero in the first week of March vs a historical average of some 140 vessel transits per day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Third, mainstream tonnage got trapped or repositioned:<\/strong> Nearly 10% of mainstream oil tankers are trapped near Hormuz, while <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/strait-hormuz-iran-energy-war-5b60e82ef2fc68e2b43aa570a32404dd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3.2k ships are idling inside the Arabian Gulf<\/a>, with 500 waiting outside \u2014 which is huge friction even if not all are tankers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>ICYMI-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/03\/10\/hormuz-standoff-persists-while-red-sea-earnings-spike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Currently, 35 VLCCs<\/a> are idling on the eastern side of the strait, with another 22 steaming toward the Gulf from the Indian coast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Floating storage and congestion<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The market impact is also about ships being forced into waiting mode. <\/strong>Large anchorages as well as near-zero transits create two overlapping effects. First, they reduce effective fleet supply \u2014 a ship at anchor is not completing voyages \u2014 which is freight-bullish in the short run.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>It also starts to build \u201ctrapped barrels.\u201d<\/strong> Estimated oil volumes stranded on tankers in the Middle East Gulf rose by some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/barclays-says-brent-could-test-120bbl-if-middle-east-tensions-persist-2026-03-06\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">85 mn barrels<\/a> since the conflict began. If that\u2019s right, storage saturates and producers start shutting \u2014 which is already happening. Less export volume eventually becomes freight-bearish \u2014 because you can\u2019t ship what isn\u2019t produced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>So the tanker market is doing two things at once <\/strong>\u2014 pricing a shortage of available ships now, while anxiously watching for a shortage of available cargoes later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">What comes next<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>If <\/strong><strong>escorted transits<\/strong><strong> and stabilized ins. terms arrive fast, you get a \u201creopening rally <\/strong><strong>unwind\u201d: <\/strong>Rates can fall hard even if the war continues, because the backlog clears and the fear premium leaks out. Talks of US escorts have resurfaced alongside state-backed ins. ideas, but nothing like a clean corridor yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>If paralysis drags on, you can keep outsized spot prints \u2014 but also more \u201cpaper vs <\/strong><strong>physical\u201d fights.<\/strong> Both Gibson and Baltic benchmarks explicitly describe parts of the curve as theoretical\/uncertain because the market isn\u2019t fixing normally. That matters because many shipping contracts are linked to benchmark freight indexes, while traders hedge exposure through freight forward agreements. When only a handful of fixtures set those benchmarks, small price swings can ripple through the entire tanker market.
