Diesel shipped in larger tankers from Asia to Europe in rare move
At least two companies are planning to ship diesel in bigger-than-usual tankers from Asia to Europe in what traders said is a rare move as cheap oil drives up diesel supply and slowing economies dent demand. French oil major Total has provisionally chartered the very large crude carrier (VLCC) Alice on a six-month time charter to ship ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD) from Asia to Europe, traders and shipbrokers said. A VLCC can carry roughly 2 million barrels of oil. The ship will load diesel from Singapore or Malaysia to head to Europe and possibly ship crude oil back, one of the sources said.
