Forward Guidance
Teekay Tankers anticipates continued positive underlying tanker fundamentals for its segments throughout 2025, driven by expected increases in oil demand and tonne-mile demand, particularly from Atlantic Basin to Asia. The global tanker fleet's aging profile and limited shipyard capacity are expected to keep fleet growth low. However, geopolitical factors, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, Iranian sanctions, and Red Sea transits, are likely to introduce volatility.
Positive Outlook
- Oil demand is projected to grow by 1.3 million barrels per day in 2025, primarily driven by non-OECD countries, especially Asia.
- Tonne-mile demand is expected to increase as oil production from Atlantic Basin sources (U.S., Brazil, Norway, Canada, Guyana) is projected to rise, leading to more long-haul crude oil movements to Asia.
- The global tanker fleet is aging, with the average age at its highest since 2002, suggesting potential for increased scrapping and reduced supply.
- Limited shipyard capacity until 2028, combined with a modest orderbook, is expected to result in continued low levels of tanker fleet growth over the next three years.
- The company's strong balance sheet and low cash flow break-even levels position it well to drive long-term shareholder returns.
