The Russia-Ukraine conflict is reshaping global trade, affecting tanker demand and potentially stimulating maritime trade post-war through reconstruction efforts in Ukraine.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is shifting global trade flows dramatically. The EU's recent sanctions targeting Russia's crude exports and containerized imports, along with political instability within Russia, are leading some to anticipate a sooner-than-expected end to the war. These events are reshaping energy commodity trade flows, lengthening travel distances for Russian exports and EU imports, and bolstering tanker demand.
An end to the conflict could affect tanker demand and rates negatively, yet it may also spur the scrapping of older vessels currently handling sanctioned oil trades. Post-war reconstruction in Ukraine is expected to drive demand for imports of building materials, potentially bolstering maritime trade beyond tankers. The end of the war could also catalyze economic activity and provide a boost to containerized trades.
