Our dry bulk coverage spans Capesize through Handysize segments, integrating iron ore, coal, grain, and minor bulk trade flow modeling with fleet-level supply analytics. Clients gain a structural view of the balance between commodity demand cycles and newbuilding delivery patterns that determines freight rate trajectories.
Grain Trade Volatility
Weather events, harvest yields, and evolving export origins create seasonal and structural shifts in grain ton-mile demand across smaller bulker segments.
Fleet Renewal & Regulation
CII ratings and EU ETS are accelerating scrapping of older tonnage while constraining newbuilding specifications, tightening effective supply across all segments.
Chinese Steel Production Cycles
China's iron ore imports dominate Capesize demand. Infrastructure stimulus, property sector health, and decarbonization policies create distinct market phases.
Energy Transition & Coal Trade
Coal's future diverges sharply by region — declining in OECD nations while growing in Southeast Asia — reshaping Panamax and Supramax trade patterns.
