Such high price is explained by a global shortage of tankers driven by the aggravated situation in the Strait of Hormuz, the news agency said
NEW YORK, October 7. /TASS/. The cost of chartering an oil tanker to carry the commodity from the US to China is about $80 mln now, Bloomberg news agency said.
Such figure is $6 mln above launching a SpaceX’ Falcon 9 rocket into space. Such high price is explained by a global shortage of tankers driven by the aggravated situation in the Strait of Hormuz, the news agency said. Oil companies of the Middle East have to make ship-to-ship transfers by the "shuttle" method, which increase the duration of every voyage by about a week.
"There’s really not quite enough shipping to go around," Bloomberg said, citing Vitol CEO Russell Hardy.
