Închirierea unui petrolier costa 20.000 de dolari pe zi în 2025, acum costă 1,2 milioane: costul transportului petrolului a atins un nivel record, iar experții se tem de o „prăbușire a pieței”

The cost of chartering supertankers has surged to unprecedented levels, exceeding $1.2 million per day due to geopolitical tensions. This marks a tenfold increase since the onset of the war, with previous rates around $100,000 in February. The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East are disrupting shipping routes, forcing some refineries to source oil from farther locations, which adds to shipping times and costs. As a result, transportation costs are becoming a significant factor in oil pricing, impacting refinery purchasing decisions, particularly in China. Despite these rising costs, crude oil prices have recently dipped below $100 per barrel following diplomatic developments with Iran.
