Each TSPS report contains analysis on:

  • Global macroeconomic conditions
  • Production, consumption and trade of crude oil and refined products
  • Tanker fleet developments by vessel size range
  • Scrapping, orderbook cancellation and slippage
  • Vessel earnings and operating costs
  • Newbuilding and secondhand vessel prices

MSI's TSPS report is typically 80-100 pages long, comprising extensive commentary and charts coupled with data tables covering five-year historic and five-year forecasted quarterly and annual timeseries. It is available as an annual subscription of four quarterly reports, or as a one-off purchase.
