If only the 5 largest oil tanker companies simultaneously stop operating for a week, could global gasoline prices increase dramatically and many countries fall into an energy crisis?
Every day, more than 100 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products are transported across the oceans. Behind that huge flow of energy are shipping corporations that own super oil tankers worth trillions of dong.
When the world talks about OPEC, Saudi Arabia, the US, Russia or China, many people forget a vital link. Those are oil tanker companies.
Without them, oil would remain underground or stuck at export ports.
Ranking of 10 major oil tanker companies
National Company Ranking Revenue
1 MOL - Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Japan About 275,600 billion VND
2 Teekay Corporation Canada About 52,000 billion VND
3 Euronav NV Belgium About 36,400 billion VND
4 Scorpio Tankers Marshall Islands Approximately 24,900 billion VND
5 Frontline Ltd Norway About 24,900 billion VND
6 DHT Holdings UK About 13,900 billion VND
7 Tsakos Energy Navigation Greece About 13,300 billion VND
8 Navios Maritime Holdings Greece About 12,600 billion VND
9 SFL Corporation Bermuda About 11,900 billion VND
10 International Seaways America About 9,500 billion VND
Converts about 26,000 VND/USD
Huge ships worth trillions of dong
These companies operate many classes of specialized shipsdifferent.
Type of ship Carrying capacity
VLCC 2 million barrels of oil
Suezmax 1 million barrels of oil
Aframax 700,000 barrels of oil
LR2 Bulk finished oil
MR Tanker Regional Distribution
A modern VLCC ship costs from 2,600 billion VND to more than 4,000 billion VND.
A fleet of several dozen ships means a business is managing hundreds of trillions of dong in assets.
How MOL is leading the way
Mitsui O.S.K. Japan's Lines is currently the largest enterprise in the ranking.
The notable point lies not only in revenue but also in fleet diversity. MOL owns many VLCC and Aframax ships serving strategic oil and gas routes from the Middle East to Asia.
As Japan imports more than 90% of its oil needs by sea, MOL has almost become a part of national energy security.
Race between Frontline and Euronav
Norway's Frontline and Belgium's Euronav have long been the two most famous competitors in the tanker industry.
Frontline Euronav Criteria
VLCC, Suezmax VLCC, Suezmax focus
Strong regions Europe, Middle East Global
Strengths Operational efficiency Fleet size
For many years, both have continuously competed for contracts to transport oil from Saudi Arabia, UAE and the US.
Why is the oil tanker industry becoming the focus?
The conflict in the Middle East, the risk of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and sanctions against Russia have caused oil tanker rates to increase sharply.
Some VLCC trips have recorded operating revenue of up to billions of dong per day.
As geopolitical tensions increase, businesses that own large fleets almost become direct beneficiariesYep.
New industry trends
Shipping lines are investing heavily
Digital positioning system using AI
LNG fuel reduces emissions
Fuel saving technology
The train runs on methanol and ammonia
Reduce carbon emissions according to IMO standards
The goal is to both reduce operating costs and meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
The scale is truly astonishing
A fully loaded VLCC ship can transport more than VND 2,600 billion worth of oil in one trip.
A fleet of dozens of ships from MOL, Frontline or Euronav means the amount of goods circulating can reach hundreds of trillions of dong at sea at the same time.
That's why experts call the oil tanker industry "the circulatory system of the global economy".
When oil tankers run smoothly, the world has energy for production, transportation and growth. But just one choke point at Hormuz, the Red Sea or strategic maritime routes, and the entire global supply chain can shake in just a few days.
