On the news front, the Strait of Hormuz blockade lacks a substantive breakthrough, with passage volume remaining at low levels. The oil shipping market is in an overall oversupply state amid the industry off-season, with VLCC cargo volumes for March through May declining 54% year-over-year. Additionally, the company recently announced a RMB 10.18 billion capital increase to its subsidiary for constructing VLCCs and Aframax crude tankers, alongside signing approximately RMB 8 billion in LR2 newbuilding lease contracts, raising market concerns over future cash flow pressure.
