PalmTrack resumes after a two-week break, bringing you more news and analysis on the palm products trade.
The last three months of 2021 saw some significant updates in the area including: (1) expectations of further port delays and congestions at major Chinese ports amid AIS data block and tighter pandemic-related regulations; and (2) our watchlist of nearly 50 palm-related vessels; and (3) vessel movements of selected trade origins and/or destinations, including tanker presence at the Dumai area, Indonesia-India tanker voyages, and tankers travelling from Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and Thailand.
This year, we start off with a three-part series on the analysis of the issues and opportunities in palm biofuels. We have just published Part 1, which looks at the USD billions involved and who is more or less committed to spending and paying for it. We have also looked at the impact of the flash floods on palm oil supply in Indonesia and Malaysia. Subscribe to PalmTrack to read these posts!
