In the last quarter of 2011 oil demand fell for the first time since 2008/2009. With a stronger outlook for the global economy over the forecast period, visiongain expects oil demand growth will increase. As a result, intercontinental oil trade will rise at a faster rate and the oil tanker market will see higher earnings and better returns on investment. Visiongain has determined that the value of the global oil tanker market in 2012 will reach <span class="xn-money">$18.96bn</span>.</p> <p> </p> <p>The focus of this report is on quantifying investment in the oil tanker market, including new build contracts, repairs, maintenance and scrapping. All new oil tankers are required to have a double hull and in the near future regulators will be enforcing laws on oil tanker fuel efficiency and water ballast systems which will require companies to upgrade and retrofit their tankers.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Unique Selling Points</b></p> <p> </p> <p>• Comprehensive analysis of the prospects of the oil tanker market from 2012-2022</p> <p>• Forecasts and analysis of the global oil tanker market between 2012-2022</p> <p>• Forecasts and analysis of 5 submarkets of the oil tanker market from 2012-2022</p> <p>• Forecasts and analysis of the 7 regional oil tanker markets from 2012-2022</p> <p>• Analysis of over 25 national oil tanker markets for the period 2012-2022</p> <p>• Analysis and forecasting is informed by extensive expert consultation with industry leaders.

The project will contribute to European energy security in a safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible way and will help the EU member states meet their CO<sub>2</sub> reduction targets. The South Stream Offshore Gas Pipeline will have a length of approximately 900 kilometres. It will connect the world's largest natural gas reserves in <span class="xn-location">Russia</span> with consumers in the European Union. The South Stream Offshore Gas Pipeline will originate at the Russian Black Sea shore in the area of Anapa, cross the Turkish Exclusive Economic Zone of the Black Sea and land on the Bulgarian coast. Commercial operations are scheduled to start by the end of 2015. When fully operational, the South Stream Offshore Gas Pipeline will consist of four pipeline strings and reach an annual capacity of 63 billion cubic metres.</p> <p><b>South Stream Transport AG</b> is an international joint venture established for the planning, construction, and subsequent operation of the offshore gas pipeline through the Black Sea. Russian company OAO Gazprom holds a 50 per cent stake in the joint venture. The Italian company EniS.p.A. acquired a 20 per cent stake.
