What to expect
The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed since late February 2026, removing roughly 30% of global LPG supply from normal trade flows and sending VLCC time charter rates to multi-year highs. The ripple effects are reshaping freight markets, vessel values, and trade routes in real time.
Join Veson’s maritime analysts Thomas Zwick and Jarl Milford for a mid-year review of the LPG and Tanker markets, as they cover the key drivers of 2026 and what we could expect to see in Q3.
What we’ll cover
- Trade flow shifts and the key drivers shaping the LPG and Tanker markets in 2026
- Supply and demand fundamentals, including fleet utilization, newbuild trends, and vessel values
- Rate and earnings forecasts and what to watch heading into Q3
