Iran charging $2mn to transit Hormuz: Official
Iran charging $2mn to transit Hormuz: Official
New York, 23 March (Argus) — Iran is charging vessel operators $2mn to transit the strait of Hormuz because of the "cost of war", according to an Iranian official, but some sources dispute the claim. "Yes, of course, we have to do this because of the war," Iranian parliament member Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on 22 March via Iranian state TV. "Iran has the right to transfer $2mn [from vessels wanting to transit the strait of Hormuz]. This shows the power and the right that the Islamic Republic of Iran has." But a post by Iran's embassy in India on social media site X early Monday refuted the claim. "The statements made in this regard merely reflect the personal views of individuals and do not, in any way, represent the official position of the Islamic Republic of Iran," the post said. Iran has signaled that the strait is "open", from its perspective, for vessels from non-enemy combatant countries and that such vessels can pass if they first contact Iran and discuss arrangements, according to Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi. It is unclear whether the potential $2mn payment by vessel operators to secure this safe passage, likely via a chokepoint set up between two islands near the Iranian coast , is one-way or round-trip. Iran's levying of tolls on passage for around 20pc of the global oil shipments that transit the region would be akin to the Panama Canal or Egypt's Suez Canal. Vessel operators from countries like China, India or Japan wishing to enter and load cargo may need to pay $4mn in total to exit the region safely again. US president Donald Trump announced Monday that the US and Iran had "VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST" via his Truth Social social media company. But if the war does wrap up in the near term, it remains to be seen whether the previous status quo returns or if Iran will maintain tighter control over the strait of Hormuz charge transit fees moving forward.

First Jones Act waiver deals enter spot market
First Jones Act waiver deals enter spot market
New York, 18 March (Argus) — Traders in the US refined products market moved quickly on Wednesday after the US announced a 60-day waiver on Jones Act shipments, snapping up internationally flagged medium range (MR) tankers for the voyages instead. The availability of prompt vessels for quick Jones Act-style shipments — a market dominated by long-term time charters and restricted vessel supply — after the launch of the waivers has likely created strong arbitrage opportunities for charterers. This comes despite higher freight costs, at least initially, on some routes as international demand remains elevated, with buyers scrambling to secure shipments after Mideast Gulf flows largely ceased. A charterer put the PIS Kalimantan , a Panamanian flagged MR tanker, on subjects for a US Gulf coast-Jacksonville, Florida, voyage today loading from 21-22 March at $2mn lumpsum, including demurrage at $115,000/d. The deal would equate to around $6.74/bl for the shipment. This is lower than the $6.92/bl for a Caribbean-bound voyage assessed on 17 March but much higher than a $3.70/bl voyage assessed for a Port Everglades-bound Jones Act voyage from Houston assessed on 13 March. Meanwhile, another charterer put a Norden-owned MR tanker on subjects for a New York-Hawaii voyage at $6.5mn, or $21.92/bl. The deal was likely influenced by a US Gulf coast-Asia voyage that commodity trader Clearlake put the Boxer on subjects for $6.4mn, or $21.49/bl, earlier within the trading day. These deals suggest that spot market activity for US cabotage over the next 60 days will depend on international freight levels, at least as long as they outstrip Jones Act $/bl rates. But Jones Act rates usually outperform international spot rates for the few vessel operators that are US flagged and US crewed. It remains to be seen whether international vessel operators will insist on at least typical Jones Act voyage rates if international freight rates begin to trade at a discount in the near term.

Import woes drive LA jet fuel to 44-month high
Import woes drive LA jet fuel to 44-month high
Seattle, 17 March (Argus) — Prompt-month jet fuel prices in Los Angeles jumped to a 44-month high on Tuesday after news broke of a fuel export cap in South Korea, which supplies the majority of jet imports to the US west coast. Jet fuel for as far forward as May delivery in Los Angeles was heard traded sharply higher, although March volume began to depreciate in trade heard by the afternoon. Trade for March was heard as high as April Nymex +40¢/USG before declining in a sale at +25¢/USG — still a double-digit increase from business on Monday that had ranged from April Nymex +10-14¢/USG. Cash prices for March jet fuel drew additional support from a higher daily Nymex settlement and reached $4.32/USG, the highest level since June 2022. The forward curve for spot jet fuel prices remains positive in Los Angeles, with April volume heard traded at May Nymex +70¢/USG on Tuesday, a 25¢/USG jump from the prior day. For May, buyers in Los Angeles were heard to have paid from June Nymex +55-80¢/USG. War between the US and Iran — and its subsequent upheaval of key crude shipping routes — has introduced a new obstacle for the west coast jet fuel supply chain. South Korea on Tuesday announced mandatory export caps on refined petroleum products , limiting shipments to 2025's monthly levels as the nation moves to safeguard domestic supply. South Korea in 2025 supplied an average of 87pc of jet fuel imported at the US west coast each month, at about 80,000 b/d, according to the Energy Information Administration. The US west coast was expected to become more reliant on jet fuel imports with the closure of two California refineries in the past six months: Phillips 66's 139,000 b/d Los Angeles complex, which shuttered late last year, and now Valero's 150,000 b/d Benicia site due for full idling by April.

UK to subsidise some household heating oil costs
UK to subsidise some household heating oil costs
London, 16 March (Argus) — The UK government today said it will allocate more than £50mn ($66mn) to low-income households to tackle the rising cost of heating oil as a result of the war in the Middle East. Households in England will receive £27mn via the Crisis and Resilience Fund, which comes into effect on 1 April. The governments of Northern Ireland will receive £17mn, Scotland £4.6mn and Wales £3.8mn. It is unclear how this money wil be distributed to households. Some UK homes use 1,000ppm sulphur kerosine for heating and hot water, a stricter specification than jet fuel. But unlike gas and electricity, energy regulator Ofgem does not cap heating oil costs, meaning those consumers are exposed to significantly higher energy bills. The government said it "intends to introduce new consumer protections for heating oil customers". It directly attributed the rising cost of kerosine to the war in the Middle East, which has caused jet-kerosine to trade around double the price of crude . Northwest European jet fuel prices hit an all-time high of $1,646.25/t on 12 March, according to Argus assessments. European jet fuel values have risen because supply is under extreme pressure. About 40pc of European jet fuel imports transit the strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively closed, Kpler data show. And Middle Eastern kerosine is often low-sulphur, meeting UK household specification, traders said.
