Supertankers Store 50m Barrels of Oil
Monday, January 05, 2009
According to a Dec. 15 report from Financial Times, oil companies and traders are storing at least 50 million barrels of oil in supertankers in a clear sign of supply outstripping demand as the global economy slows. The current floating storage is enough to meet France’s oil imports for a month and the biggest since late 2001. Storing oil in tankers is unusual as it is significantly more expensive than inland.
