Greece's Okeanis Eco Tankers (OET) has outlined the operational strategy that has allowed it to outperform rivals on tanker rates.

The Oslo-listed company has fixed market-leading forward fixture levels in the first quarter of $100,200 per day for VLCCs, $76,500 for suezmaxes and $46,500 for aframaxes.

Speaking on the OET conference call with analysts, management said the shipowner's success has been partly due to its reactions to swings in the market.
