Assessments by Vessel and Cargo Basis

Each row is a separate USD/mt assessment for its own vessel class and cargo basis. The featured series supplies the headline value and the computed summary and monthly statistics below; it is not an average of the assessments on this lane.

Changes compare consecutive available assessments of the same series. The 30D range shows the minimum and maximum of available USD/mt observations within the trailing 30 calendar days. Available history currently covers 13 assessment dates from 1 to 17 September 2026, rather than a complete 30-day record.

What These Assessments Measure

CommodityScope Assessment History

Latest 13 assessment dates, with a separate column for each vessel and cargo basis. All values are shown in USD/mt. Dates without available assessments are omitted. Series histories are not combined or averaged across vessel classes or cargo bases.

Computed Summary — VLCC · 280,000 mt

Calculated by CommodityScope from the USD/mt observations of VLCC · 280,000 mt only. These statistics do not combine Suezmax and VLCC assessments. Each statistic states its observation period and calculation method.

1. The latest assessment of $120.04/mt on 17 September 2026 is $6.97/mt (+6.2%) above the previous assessment of $113.07/mt on 16 September 2026.

   Method: Absolute change equals the latest assessment minus the previous available assessment. Percentage change equals that difference divided by the previous assessment, multiplied by 100. The two observations are one calendar day apart.

2. Across the 13 available observations from 1 to 17 September 2026, the highest assessment was $120.04/mt on 17 September. The lowest was $68.82/mt on 1 September.

   Method: Minimum and maximum of the available assessments within the stated period. These are extrema of the available history, not all-time market records.

3. No completed calendar month meeting the minimum of eight observations is available, so a comparison with a completed-month average is not shown.

   Method: A completed-month comparison requires a finished calendar month with at least eight daily observations.
