The latest forward curve shows Diesel being steadily backwardated in the prompt with demand strong and supply having been disrupted by Hurricanes and upcoming refinery turnarounds in Europe. This backwardation has meant that volumes in storage have been drastically reduced over the last couple of months as holders of inventory would take a hit on the roll. With current backwardation, there is little incentive to refill tanks and inventory levels will be kept low putting a damper on demand. Refinery maintenance during autumn, the onset of winter forcing greater demand for heating and the list of refineries undergoing maintenance work becoming larger have all been supportive for Diesel. Sentiment in Diesel is still bullish but spreads appeared to have stabilized somewhat. CIF Med 10ppm has been printing at low premiums to ICE Gasoil due to the steep backwardation of ICE Gas Oil futures.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

‘Resistance to change’ is the action taken by individuals and groups when they perceive that a change that is occurring as a threat to them.

Discussions within the shipping industry on disintermediation, incorporating automation and technology are growing and getting louder, and even louder are the knee-jerk reactions of traditionalists who remind you that it’s a relationship-based business and that a robotic touch can never feel as good as a human touch.

The purpose of this blog is not to merely talk about more of the same, but rather dwell a little deeper into this phenomenon called ‘Resistance to change’. A lot of the technology required to automate systems and processes in the shipping industry is already available and has been for many years now.
