Shipping costs add $40 a barrel to oil prices
Original: shipping rates impact on oil trade
Shipping rates are adding roughly $40 a barrel to the cost of oil for many consumers, a charge largely invisible at the pump. The figure highlights how tanker availability, freight demand and route disruptions feed into final fuel prices. Analysts point to the gap between headline crude prices and what buyers ultimately pay once transport costs are included, with traders watching freight markets closely for signs of further pressure.
Why now: Freight rates have become a significant and widely discussed factor in the real cost of oil.
