# Atlantic MR Report (9 November 2026)

> Atlantic Basin medium-range tanker availability is tight, with nine vessels in the seven-day US Gulf Coast window and 10 in Northwest Europe, both below their 90-day averages. USGC earnings are substantially higher, and forecasts point to further gains on the USGC-to-Europe TC14 route, although diesel arbitrage margins from Houston and Barcelona have weakened.

## Why it matters

The tight vessel supply and stronger USGC demand are lifting clean-tanker freight costs, while weaker diesel arbitrage economics may constrain transatlantic product flows. Higher freight can raise delivered fuel costs, but the story does not establish a direct feed-commodity price effect.
