"This brings market transparency in the cargo space to a whole new level."

For the first time, oceangoing vessels are carrying almost 1 billion barrels of crude oil. Floating storage and "waiting cargoes" are also at historic highs creating unprecedented demand for cargo intelligence.

"This report is a new benefit for ICE's IM customers," said ICE Data Services' President and COO Lynn Martin. "We are pleased to work with ClipperData to provide our market participants timely information on cargo flows, grade-by-grade, dock-by-dock, in advance of this key oil market report each week."
