The third in Clarkson Research Studies' series of Shipping Sector Reports focuses on "MR Product Tankers" between 25-50,000 dwt.

This report looks at some of the causes and consequences of this building boom. Special attention is given to the impact of the Erika and Prestige sinkings, and their role in accelerating the transition of the fleet. More than half of the fleet is still without a double hull, and so despite the massive amount of recent investment in new vessels, replacement demand is still an important issue. The report looks at the possible impact of new "post-Prestige" regulations and the implications for vessel supply over the next decade, as well as the ability of the shipyards to deal with anticipated levels of newbuilding demand.

This report is available in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format for a reduced cost of £250/$500. If you subscribe to the .pdf version you will not recieve the hardcopy.
