and Diesel Arbs from the USGC region

9th April 2024

DieselArbsUSGC (1)

This study examines the correlation between arbitrage margins and the projected quantity of vessel loadings departing and arriving on pertinent critical routes. The data indicates a statistically significant positive correlation between the arbitrage margin from the US Gulf Coast (USGC) to Amsterdam- Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) and the number of vessels traversing from the USGC to North West Europe (NWE). A similar statistically significant positive correlation is observed between the arbitrage margin from the US Gulf Coast (USGC) to Barcelona and the number of vessels navigating from the USGC to the Mediterranean (MED).
