"We've of course been supported by a strong market where the low oil prices have resulted in stockpiling, which also gave us a good start to 2015.

So we actually view the effect of the low oil price as a passing phenomenon, though we decline to venture a guess at exactly how long it will last," says Morten Engelstoft, CEO of Maersk Tankers and the core business unit APM Shipping Services (Maersk Tankers, Damco, Maersk Supply Services and Svitzer) in an interview with ShippingWatch.
