Report summary

Are we witnessing the start of a dry bulk super cycle? The dry bulk market has remained unabated so far in 2021 from higher volumes from industrial bulks through to grain, but also from support from the broader rally in commodity prices, including bunker fuel prices firming up and other factors such as continued Covid-19 related fleet inefficiencies and vessel queues at key origins and destinations. Looking ahead, freight rates should ease from current high level but low fleet growth will continue to support the dry bulk market. Global regulation of the shipping industry continues to gather momentum with concrete measures to reduce CO2 emissions which will impact vessel supply and also provide support.
