A supertanker named Alexandros was chartered by trading firm Trafigura for $76 million to sail from the U.S. Gulf Coast to China, loading around November 19. This cost far exceeds the pre-war normal rate of $7 million to $10 million due to a shortage of available tankers caused by the Middle East crisis. The journey cost translates to about $38 per barrel of oil, assuming the tanker carries 2 million barrels. The increased shipping demand is driven by a shuttle system used by Middle East producers to export oil safely through the Strait of Hormuz, requiring more ships and raising costs globally.
