What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSeeking Alpha reports oil tanker rates have hit a record one point three three million dollars a day. Skip Waverly is at the docks. Skip?

  2. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThanks, Hank! I'm at a pier beside a very large tanker, and I've been told that's the story.

  3. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSeeking Alpha says rates hit a record one point three three million dollars a day.

  4. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentTight shipping markets mean higher energy transport costs for global trade. Tickers to watch are Scorpio Tankers, S-T-N-G, and Frontline, F-R-O.

  5. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentA seagull just stole my granola bar. I'm calling it a hostile takeover.

  6. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSir, sir! Do you work on the pier? What do you make of a million bucks a day for one boat?

  7. Walt PickeringA million a day? My kayak makes nothing and leaks. I'd happily be a tanker. I'd be a big, floating, overpaid toilet of oil.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Skip. I regret both the granola bar and the toilet comparison. Moving on.
