Ship owners are contributing $942 a day toward fuel costs to ship
Middle East crude, according to the London-based Baltic Exchange. Rates
have been below operating costs since July. 
Should the losses persist,
some owners may choose to idle their ships, according to Jens Martin
Jensen, Singapore-based chief executive officer of Frontline’s
management unit</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=63611&Itemid=93"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.hellenicshippingnews.com/img/21BA1A17-BAE1-4F1E-A8D3-0E74AEA1E1F1" alt="tanker342412_thumb.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=63611&Itemid=93">“If you see another quarter, then I think owners have to do something,”
Jensen said by phone today. “We are subsidizing oil companies.”</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=63611&Itemid=93">The five-member Bloomberg Tanker Index, led by Frontline, dropped 19
