Comprehensive U.S. Crude Exports Analysis
RBN’s Crude Voyager is a weekly analysis of U.S. Gulf Coast loading activity that explains the ebbs and flows of crude loadings, destinations, and geopolitical issues impacting U.S. exports. It outlines the major paths for laden tankers hauling U.S. crude all over the world and reflects the change in tanker departures to the main regions that consume U.S. crude.
Our weekly report, distributed Tuesday mornings ahead of the EIA, gives market players, analysts and operations personnel an in-depth look at Gulf Coast crude export volumes by terminal. The Crude Voyager also comes with a quarterly supplement, which provides a detailed look at individual ports and new expansion projects.
