When looking at the destination of US Ethanol exports.. if it has to go by ship.. it's probably constrained by ship size.. storage at destination.. etc.. so probably a little "work in progress" to build out shipping.. as well as receiving capacity.. of course the most economical supply is going to be at larger volumes.. so.. it may take a little work to "build out" shipping and receiving capacity.. Ship sizes.. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_tanker )
Oil tanker size categories AFRA Scale [40] Flexible market scale [40] Class Size in DWT Class Size in DWT New price[41] Used price[42] General Purpose tanker 10,000–24,999 Product tanker 10,000–60,000 $43M $42.5M Medium Range tanker 25,000–44,999 Panamax 60,000–80,000 LR1 (Large Range 1 ) 45,000–79,999 Aframax 80,000–120,000 $60.7M $58M LR2 (Large Range 2 ) 80,000–159,999 Suezmax 120,000–200,000 VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier ) 160,000–319,999 VLCC 200,000–320,000 $120M $116M ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier ) 320,000–549,999 Ultra Large Crude Carrier 320,000–550,000
For instance the 403 k bbls that went to India in February.. "probably" went in around a 50,000 ton cargo ship.. could have been a panamax.. OR a couple of holds in a larger ship.. to fill out the manifest... which is probably more likely.. Maybe I'm making too big of an issue of this.. we can either sell SHIP LOADS or Holds of Shiploads... hmmm.. probably making a bigger deal out of this then needed.. Ethanol Exports ARE DOABLE!! more info on shipping.. ( http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/tanker-types.htm ) ( http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/PET_MOVE_EXPC_A_EPOOXE_EEX_MBBL_M.htm )
