Baltic Exchange has launched a series of new Aframax tanker benchmarks, TD28 and TD29, in response to shifting global trade dynamics, escalating geopolitical tensions, and a dramatic surge in Canadian crude exports to Asia. The new assessments are also designed to strengthen the Baltic’s position as the leading provider of freight benchmarks and reflect the shipping industry’s need for greater transparency amid a rapidly changing energy landscape.
