Rates: “Already at record levels before the shock”
In a recent webinar,
$HMR CEO ankaj Khanna emphasized that tanker markets were exceptionally strong even before geopolitical disruption amplified the rally.
VLCCs were already exceeding
$200,000/day, while Aframax and Suezmax rates were trading in the
$100,000–
$200,000/day range in January–February — levels he described as fundamentally strong rather than transient.
He noted that the impact of the Q1 environment is not yet fully reflected in results, with further upside expected in Q2.
Growth at Heidmar is also being driven on both fronts: fee-based vessel management and proprietary trading, which together reinforced strong Q1 performance.
