Market outlook of VLCCs in the next 5 years by Cheah, Peifang.

“…The report shall focus on analyzing the demand and supply factors and subsequently draw a conclusion based on their effect on the freight rates. This can be achieved by segmenting the market into 5 bands based on historical Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) namely very weak, weak, steady, strong and very strong condition and a forecast of the strength of the freight market will be derived (ie the band the market will fall in). …”
