Given that this quarter is likely not to be included in the flat rate calculation for 2020, and the expected volatility in bunker prices in 2020, a few revisions to the baseline bunker price calculations and therefore Worldscale flat rates can be expected next year, with some changes potentially being quite dramatic. Any change in flat rates would shake up the spot freight for tankers on affected routes. Worldscale rates traded in the market have to adjust accordingly for ship owners to at least maintain the samelevel of earnings. If they fail to keep the Worldscale rates high enough, it could mean losing money for uncomfortably long periods of time as the market adjusts to each change in flat rates.
