Pirates in the Caribbean episode 2 arrived over the weekend folks – we hope you didn’t miss it, flat price certainly didn’t and went up over two percent. Brent was catapulted north of $61.50 again. The US decided to seize not only one, but two more tankers. The first one, on Saturday, was the Panama-flagged, but Chinese-owned, Centuries (IMO: 9206310), a VLCC carrying 1.8 mill bbls of Venezuelan crude oil bound for China.
