Backhaul - Trade and Freight Backhaul voyages occur when cargo is moved on the return leg of a journey. As charter rates incorporate the return ballast leg of a journey, backhaul opportunities represent an opportunity for supplementary income for tanker owners. For example, a vessel could load in West Africa and head East on its return from a laden voyage from the Arabian Gulf to Europe or the US. Related Links if available: © OECD/IEA 2009.
