You may now download rate history for a range of tanker routes. The historical rates span fixtures from September 2002 to today. They are presented as weekly average values together with high and low values for each week.

The IMAREX Tanker Traffic download files are updated daily with the most recent SPOT tanker rate assessment on the most frequently traded IMAREX tanker contracts.

PLEASE NOTE that these assessments are NOT the same as those from the Baltic Exchange, but are composed independently for comparison.

IMAREX will develop new files based on non-standard tanker routes, for download.

Please contact us via email response@imarex.com if there are specific routes you are looking for.
