China is the world’s largest importer of crude oil, accounting for approximately 25% of global crude import volumes. The country’s crude imports are also equal to about 25% of global seaborne crude oil volumes which contributed to about 30% of dirty tanker trade tonne miles in 2021 according to Signal Ocean statistics. From 2010 to 2020, China’s crude imports grew at an average annual rate of 8.5% and have been the key demand driver for both crude oil and crude tanker demand.

According to the General Administration of Customs China (GACC), crude oil volumes in July amounted to 34.1 million tonnes. Volumes are thereby down 9.2% on 2021 and 27.2% lower than July 2020. January through July volumes have fallen 3.9% this year compared to the same period in 2021 which was already down 5.7% against 2020.

Seaborne volumes have fallen similarly, however, dirty tanker trade deadweight tonne miles have dropped 9.6% in the first seven months of 2022 compared to last year according to Signal Ocean statistics. Compared to 2021, China has this year favoured imports from the Persian Gulf, Southeast Asia, and Russia over crude from Brazil, USA, and West Africa. On average, longer trades have been replaced by shorter ones.

VLCCs and Suezmaxes have both seen a reduction in deadweight tonne miles of about 10% January through July, whereas Aframaxes have benefitted from the increased trade with Russia and deadweight tonne miles have increased 1.5%.

“Crude oil demand in China has suffered from low local demand due to COVID-19 lockdowns. A combination of high product inventories, a cap on retail gasoline and diesel prices once crude hits USD 80/barrel, and lower export quotas (so far 39% lower than in 2021) that discourage refineries from ramping up production has also hurt demand for crude oil,” says BIMCO’s Chief Shipping Analyst, Niels Rasmussen.

“Deadweight tonne miles indicate it is unlikely that August’s import numbers will improve significantly whereas a rebound may be seen in September, although not to the highs of 2020. That would likely require both a solid increase in local product demand and changes in the policies that currently discourage refineries from increasing production,” Rasmussen says.

Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. (Yang Ming) has welcomed its newest 11,000 TEU container vessel YM Tutorial.

The vessel was chartered from Shoei Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. and built by Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.

The YM Tutorial was named at a ceremony held at Imabari Hiroshima Shipyard on 17 June and has entered Yang Ming’s transpacific West Coast route PS6 on 15 July.

The port rotation for the first voyage of YM Tutorial in PS6 will be Qingdao – Ningbo – Pusan – Los Angeles – Kobe – Qingdao.

The company has ordered a total of 14 11,000 TEU containerships through long-term charter agreements with ship owners, and the YM Tutorial is the 12th vessel in the series.

This type of vessel has a nominal capacity of 11,860 TEU and is equipped with 1,000 plugs for reefer containers. With a length of 333.9 metres, a width of 48.4 metres, a draft of 16 metres, these vessels are designed to cruise at a speed of up to 23 knots.

The containerships have also been equipped with scrubbers, Water Ballast Treatment Plant and Alternative Marine Power system to adhere to environmental regulations.

Yang Ming said this type of vessel adopts the twin-island design to increase loading capacity and navigational visibility to ensure greater efficiency and safety, as well as increase energy saving and reduce overall emissions.

Their dimensions enable them to call at major ports worldwide and pass through the new Panama Canal with little restriction.

Yang Ming has taken delivery of 12 vessels since 2020 to meet customer demand. The latest addition to its fleet was the YM Tranquillity, delivered on 14 June.

In May, the company reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2022, posting revenues of NTD 106.7 billion ($3.5 billion).

The sum accounts for an increase of 71.32 per cent compared with NTD 62.28 billion ($2.1 billion) from the same period of previous year.
