I think its likely a good time to be investing in the sector, rates have been in a trough over the past couple of years and operators have been taking losses. New deliveries are at a turning point in 2019 and capacity should start decreasing over the next few years, rates have steadied and could continue upwards. New legislation in 2020 for low sulphur fules will increase the cost of running older ships so scrapping could increase further.
A lot of these tanker operators have been trading at discounts to the liquidation value, hard to tell at first glance but they could have got a very good price.
