The primary ship broker I rely on for tanker rate data does not have a weekly update this week. My secondary source is Gibson, and their weekly release has technical issues. I have seen rates quoted here and there. But, this one from the Baltic Exchange, seems to offer the best, broad summary across various vessel sizes.
At this time, some refiners and processing plants in the MEG region have shut down. So, a clean or dirty route with origination in the MEG Gulf e.g. TC1 or TD3, is likely a “quoted rate”. But, one can see the impacts on rates or “lump sum” quotes. Across the board, the cost of shipping clean or dirty crude cargo has gone up.

Separately, I saw a mid-week quote for LNG tankers. The time frame is normally slower for the LNG market. But rates in the Atlantic region have spiked to over $250K daily (from $35K - $45K daily).
This week I began noticed the pump increase- $4.15/gallon at the start of the week, $5/gallon at the end of the week.
