Description: NAT Nordic American Tankers October 24, 2025
Nordic American Tankers Limited (NYSE:NAT) is a Bermuda-incorporated tanker operator that owns, operates, and charters a fleet of 20 double-hull Suezmax crude oil carriers as of 31 December 2024. The company, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Hamilton, focuses on long-term time charters and spot market exposure across global oil trade routes.
Key industry metrics that influence NAT’s performance include the Baltic Dirty Tanker Index (BDTI) for Suezmax vessels, which has averaged a 5-month rolling spot rate of roughly $22,000-$24,000 per day in 2024, and fleet utilization rates that typically hover around 85-90% for Suezmax assets. Additionally, the company’s earnings are sensitive to crude oil demand growth (projected 1.8% YoY in 2025) and to OPEC-plus production adjustments, which drive freight volume and charter rates.
