Global oil trade is profoundly dependent on seaborne oil tankers for the transportation of crude oil. Over recent years the trading of refined petroleum products and petrochemicals by sea has also risen. All of these petroleum related products are somewhat volatile and closely linked to levels of economic activity. Visiongain has calculated capital expenditure in the oil tanker market will reach $18.96bn in 2012.

There are a number of driving factors that will require investment in oil tankers over the forecast period despite the current lacklustre economic situation. For example, in the near future regulators will be enforcing laws on oil tanker fuel efficiency and water ballast systems which will require companies to upgrade and retrofit their tankers.

With an improved global economic outlook further into the 2012-2022 forecast period, visiongain expects to see stronger oil demand growth over the coming years. With continually rising oil demand, intercontinental oil trade is absolutely vital for economic expansion and demand for oil tankers will pick up once more. As oil trade rises at a faster rate, oil tanker companies will see higher earnings and better returns on investment.
