The report examines the maritime transport industry, particularly the supply and demand dynamics of container, dry bulk, and liquid cargo shipping. It assesses trends in vessel supply, maritime freight rates, and the business cycle's effects on shipping. Data from 2013 to 2017 projects growth in container ship capacity, with larger ships becoming more prevalent. Dry bulk capacity has also increased, with Capesize vessels expanding at the expense of smaller ships. The liquid bulk market, including oil and petroleum products, operates under lease contracts with fluctuating freight rates. The maritime cycle, influenced by the business cycle, affects the supply of vessels and freight rates. The report concludes that the maritime industry is experiencing overcapacity and oversupply due to decreased demand and slow trade growth, leading to financial challenges for shipping companies and strategic alliances to optimize operations.
