AI Summary

Earnings on the Saudi Arabia‑to‑China VLCC route jumped to a record $647,000 per day on Thursday, according to Baltic Exchange data cited by Bloomberg. The daily rate is more than ten times what it was a year earlier and about 27% higher than the $510,000 level recorded ten days prior. The surge reflects the high cost of moving Gulf oil amid the ongoing Iran war.
