The main story across freight and commodities over the past fortnight has been the headline-making 90-day tariff reduction between the US and China. Hi, I'm Jess, and on this episode of Freight Up, myself and Davide unpack how this policy shift has tempered volatility and delivered a short-term lift to otherwise flat markets. Ben Klang joins us after a busy run of industry events, detailing the impact on dry freight—where Capesize contracts saw a fleeting rebound before losing ground, and smaller Panamax and Supramax rates remained lacklustre. We'll investigate the cautious optimism on the macro front, following stubborn inflation and steady US employment numbers. We'll also take a closer look at iron ore and steel markets, with regional insights you won't want to miss. From Shanghai, Hao Pei explores iron ore's resilience—even as tariffs shift—and the mounting influence of port logistics in Peru and ongoing maintenance cycles in China.

Markets this week have been shaped by a volley of global events, each leaving its mark on commodities and freight. We've seen flat performances across dry freight indexes, despite slight gains in Capesize and Panamax sectors, and a muted Supramax uptick offset by minor losses in Handys. Oil and equity markets? Responding to political developments, most notably in the US, as tariffs and policy uncertainty weigh on sentiment. If you're following the impact of US and Canadian politics on trade, this episode provides a timely overview. Chris Hudson joins me, Davide, to break down the effects of Trump's executive orders and tariffs on North America's cross-border commodity trade, alongside the newly-elected Prime Minister Carney's reaction in Canada. We flag the difficulties market participants are facing as they try to adapt to “wait and see” conditions, with S&P volatility, shifting border policy, and tariff unpredictability creating new risks. The episode also explores the knock-on effects for currencies and global commodity pricing, tracking the Fed's interest rate stance and its implications for everything priced in dollars. You'll get a first-hand view on how global supply chains are being tested by changing political rhetoric, and what this means for iron ore, coking coal, and dry freight trends moving into May.Timestamps00:00 Market Volatility Amid News Overload03:36 U.S. Politics: Executive Orders & Market Trends08:24 Trump Era Politics & Economic Insights09:54 Trump Criticises Powell on Rates14:41 Uncertainty in Economic Forecasting16:49 Decarbonisation Challenges and Economic Priorities21:46 US Tariff Easing Boosts Markets24:14 Australian Coking Coal Market ReboundsThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policy

The dry bulk shipping market has rebounded in the first half of 2024 driven by the Capesize sector and the iron ore trades – will this positive trend continue for the remainder of the year?In a five-part series mid-year we take stock of shipping markets in the first six months of the year and look ahead to the remainder of the 2024 with experts Maritime Strategies International (MSI).In this second part the Seatrade Maritime Podcast talks with Plamen Natzkoff, Associate Director for Dry Bulk Commodities and Freight with MSI about the performance and outlook for the dry bulk shipping market.

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. The contribution of diversified mining company Anglo American to a cleaner, greener maritime industry is highlighted by this week's delivery of the last of ten emission-cutting ships. The maiden voyage of the Ubuntu Liberty vessel from China to South Africa will mark the successful on-time transfer of all ten ships built over the last three years by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, located along the mouth of China's Yangtze river. The final vessel of the Ubuntu fleet is on its way to Saldanha Bay to collect iron-ore from South Africa's high-quality-producing Kumba operations in the Northern Cape, a repeat of what the first Ubuntu Harmony vessel did a year ago. The fleet emits 35% less carbon dioxide into the air than ships fuelled by conventional marine oil fuel. Customers are showing keen interest in accessing Ubuntu freight, which Anglo marketing business CEO Matt Walker says in a Johannesburg Stock Exchange announcement demonstrates growing recognition of the value of sustainable shipping as part of a more sustainable supply chain that end consumers increasingly expect. Shanghai Waigaoqiao has delivered the fleet on time, on budget and with a zero-safety-incident record. The Ubuntu fleet is a key component of Anglo's ambition to achieve carbon-neutrality for its controlled ocean freight by 2040, aligning with Anglo's sustainable mining plan commitment to carbon neutral operations across its mines by the same year. The LNG dual-fuelled vessels offer an estimated 35% reduction in emissions compared to ships fuelled by conventional marine oil fuel and are the most efficient vessels of their type today. Since the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuelled new-build ship was loaded, more than 6.4-million tonnes of iron-ore and steelmaking coal across global shipping routes. Additionally, the fleet has conducted 30-plus refuelling stops for LNG in locations such as Singapore and Malaysia, amid the shipping industry being responsible for some 3% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. GREEN HYDROGEN As reported by Mining Weekly last year, Anglo has established a framework of initiatives for the decarbonisation of its maritime activities, including energy-saving devices fitted to existing vessels, the use of voyage optimisation software, and a focus on exploring, trialling and adopting alternative, sustainable fuel options, including sustainable biofuel, green methanol and ammonia, and - further down the line - green hydrogen. The use of LNG is also expected to lead to a reduction of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from vessel exhausts, while new technology also eliminates the release of unburnt methane. The dual-fuelled Capesize+ fleet is part of an ambition to achieve carbon neutrality for controlled ocean freight by 2040, with an interim target to reduce emissions from these activities by 30% by 2030. This is all part of a wider ambition to halve Scope 3 emissions by 2040.

The low orderbook, demand growth and longer ton-miles created by supply-chain disruptions bode well for the health of the dry-bulk industry. In this Talking Transports podcast, Seanergy Maritime Holdings Chairman and CEO Stamatis Tsantanis joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation & logistics analyst, to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the global dry-bulk shipping market. A prolonged crisis in the Red Sea could drive Capesize rates and profit higher for owners in the coming months. One of the biggest challenges will be the industry's ability to meet the International Maritime Organization's goals for zero emissions by 2050 through a transition toward greener fuels, he says. Tsantanis also talks about the impact of Russia's war on Ukraine and China's demand for raw materials.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Y aura t-il à court terme assez de gros vraquiers secs sur l'eau, ces navires géants qui transportent des produits agricoles ou encore des minerais ? Le taux de renouvellement de la flotte atteint son plus bas niveau depuis 2008.  Une flotte de bateaux qui ne se renouvelle pas assez vite par rapport à la demande ou en tout cas pas au rythme habituel, c'est ce que les chiffres montrent. Cela fait même quinze ans que la proportion de vraquiers attendus en livraison par rapport à la flotte existante n'a pas été si faible – 2,8% et 2,6 % pour les deux prochaines années, contre 5% en moyenne ces dix dernières années, selon Maersk Broker. Sont concernés précisément ceux qu'on appelle les Capesize et les Panamax qui transportent du minerai de fer, du charbon, de la bauxite ou encore des produits agricoles.« Si moins de vraquiers sont mis sur le marché, c'est que la priorité a été donnée à d'autres catégories de navires », explique Marc Pauchet, analyste chez Maersk Broker. Les carnets de commande de chantiers navals sont remplis de porte-conteurs et de bateaux transportant du Gaz naturel Liquéfié. Très sollicités, ces chantiers principalement situés en Chine, et au Japon, pour ce type de navires, ont tendance à monter leur prix. Or avec les taux de fret actuels, le retour sur investissement n'est pas suffisant pour convaincre les armateurs de payer plus, ils ont donc ralenti leurs commandes. De la seconde main dans le Fret maritimeCertains armateurs ont choisi de ne pas investir dans du neuf et se tournent vers le marché de la seconde main, qui existe aussi dans le fret maritime. Ce délai leur permet aussi de prendre le temps de voir comment s'adapter aux nouvelles règlementations contraignantes en termes d'émissions carbone imposées aux navires, des réglementations qui leur imposent de choisir une énergie de propulsion bas-carbone.D'autres investisseurs, que ce soient des compagnies maritimes ou des grands négociants en matières premières, privilégient les commandes de navires plus petits.Cette baisse d'intérêt pour les grands vraquiers pourrait avoir à moyen terme des conséquences sur les taux de fret. Car la demande des exportateurs de minerais ou de produits agricoles est toujours là, et s'annonce plus forte que le nombre de nouveaux navires annoncés sur le marché, selon Maersk Broker. À ce déficit, il faut ajouter la démolition de navires trop anciens, et des retards possibles dans la livraison des navires commandés, voire des annulations. Des perspectives qui pourraient faire grimper, par ricochet, le prix du charbon ou des céréales.À lire aussiTransport maritime, l'effet boomerang

Star Bulk Carriers On Its Iron Ore Green Corridor Initiative New York, May 16, 2022 – Star Bulk Carriers (NASDAQ: SBLK) recently announced the signing of a joint letter of intent to establish a consortium to assess the development of an iron ore Green Corridor between Australia and East Asia, led by the Global Maritime Forum and along with its partners BHP, Rio Tinto, and Oldendorff Carriers. Charis Plakantonaki, the Chief Strategy Officer of Star Bulk Carriers, discusses with Barry Parker of Capital Link TV this initiative, what it entails, its significance and how its fits into Star Bulk’s overall ESG strategy. Green Corridor is a shipping route where it is practical to operate a zero-GHG emission ship, both technologically and economically. Route-specific Green Corridors simplify the challenge of decarbonization by focusing on fewer routes, cargoes, and fuels, along with appropriate financial incentives and safety regulations. Green corridors enable the industry to accelerate both the supply and the demand for green shipping on specific routes. They are an important first step in reaching the goal of 5% of shipping fuels being zero-emission fuels by 2030, which is a tipping point for the subsequent transition to full decarbonization. Key points of this discussion include: How Green Corridors contribute to Green Shipping and the overall drive to decarbonization’ The planning process to get this group together including the choice of working with BHP, Rio Tinto and Oldendorff Carriers? How the collaboration between the consortium complements Star Bulk’s ESG policies and what would be the benefits for Star Bulk shareholders Other routes globally and companies that have potentially similar collaborations Star Bulk’s ESG focus and initiatives ABOUT STAR BULK - Star Bulk is a global shipping company providing worldwide seaborne transportation solutions in the dry bulk sector.

Everything you need to know about the Baltic Dry Index! What is the BDI? BDI is simply daily dry bulk shipping rates— which reflect the supply/demand of dry bulk vessels. It's an index which measures the average cost of leasing ships to transport ‘dry bulk' cargo (I.e. coal, iron ore, grains, etc). It measures costs of transporting various important raw materials by sea (e.g. coal, iron ore, grain) - It takes into account shipping routes, timing of delivery, ship capacity, and is a widely used benchmark in shipping. What are the ships? Capesize: the largest ships in the BDI with 100,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT) or greater. The average size of a Capesize ship is 156,000 DWT Panamax: have a 60,000 to 80,000 DWT capacity, and they're used mostly to transport coal, grains, and minor bulk products such as sugar and cement. Supramax/handysize: These ships have a carrying capacity of 45,000 to 59,999 DWT. Major dry bulk commodities include iron ore, coal, and grain - two-thirds of global dry bulk trade. Minor bulks include steel products, sugars, cement The BDI is good to pay attention to, but its not the whole inflation story. Its a divergence between things - so its expensive to be a human still, but its good to have pressure easing in some areas

Don't panic! Capesize prices may be sliding, but our podcast is here to highlight what's going on in the freight, oil and ferrous markets. Disclaimer: freightinvestorservices.com/castaway-disclaimer/

A short, sharp update this week as we discuss the jump in oil prices, the bounce back on iron ore, and of course the Capesize rates having gone to the Moon.

John Wobbensmith, CEO of Genco Shipping (GNK), a dry bulk shipping company, joined J Mintzmyer's Value Investor's Edge Live on 25 June 2021 to discuss the strong market outlook and company specific plans for capital allocation and shareholder returns. GNK is benefiting from surging rates and is expected to report a strong Q2 earnings report followed by an even stronger showing in Q3. Although market conditions can change and dry bulk is notoriously volatile, the supply side is the most bullish we have seen in 20-plus years and the signals from demand are also encouraging, particularly in the midsize and smaller segments, which are reviewed in detail in this update. Perhaps of most interest to shareholders is Genco's plan to begin massive dividend payouts once target leverage is achieved. GNK's officially stated plan is to begin these large payouts after Q4-2021 results (i.e. in early-2022). However, market conditions have been very strong, so there's a potential for GNK to start to move even faster. With current market rates and GNK's stated dividend policy, we could theoretically see yields of 30% or higher against current share prices.

Diversified miner Anglo American has awarded a ten-year charter contract for four liquefied natural gas- (LNG-) fuelled Capesize vessels to transport the company’s iron-ore to international customers. This introduces LNG into Anglo’s chartered fleet for the first time. The new-build LNG vessels emit 35% lower carbon emissions compared with standard marine fuel, while using technology to eliminate the release of unburnt methane. The contract speaks to Anglo’s goal to be carbon neutral across its operations by 2040, as it works to reduce emissions not only at production sites but also along the entire value chain. In addition to the lower carbon dioxide emissions, LNG marine fuel offers significant environmental advantages over heavy fuel oil, which is the most widely used fuel by vessels operating along sea trade routes. However, the use of LNG instead eliminates sulphur oxides and considerably reduces nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from vessel exhausts. U-Ming Marine Transport will own the newly designed 190 000 t LNG-fuelled bulk carriers. The fleet will be built by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, in China, and is expected to be delivered in 2023. The fleet is expected to carry up to five-million tonnes of product a year, transporting iron-ore from Anglo’s operations in Brazil and South Africa to the company’s global customer base. This move toward sustainability in the maritime industry follows the company being a founding signatory of the Sea Cargo Charter in October, which was created by some of the world’s largest energy, agriculture, mining and commodity trading companies. The charter establishes a standards methodology and reporting framework to allow charterers to measure and align their emissions from ocean transportation activities.

Learn 7 Signs Why a Recession May Be Looming. 1. Corporate profits are tanking. Corporate profits have been weak since late in 2014 according to JP Morgan economist Michael Feroli. Growth in corporate profits has been negative since Q3 and Q4 of 2015 and flat Q1 of 2016. The three main reasons corporates are under so much pressure are the strong US dollar, collapsing oil prices, and rising wages. "Declining corporate profits as measured by US equity EPS have been closely followed by, or coincided with, a recession 81% of the time since 1900," said Dubravko Lakos-Bujas at JP Morgan. Paul Mortimer-Lee from PNB Paribas projects that the risk of recession over the next 12 months is somewhere between 40% and 50%, depending on how terrible the incoming labor market data looks. Some people speculate there is little to no earnings growth expected globally. 2. Unemployment report Only 38,000 jobs were added - far short of the 160,000 estimated. 3. The dollar has been strong since 2015. Strong dollar makes US exports more expensive. Other countries’ currencies are pegged to the dollar so it hurts their exports too. 4. ISM (manufacturing) report has been neutral. An indicator of 50 is neutral. March was 51.8, slightly expanding. Last 5 months were over 50, prior 5 months under 50. 5. Construction is declining. -1.8% is the largest drop since 1/11. 6. Baltic Dry Index (shipping) is very low. BDI measures iron ore and coal. More ships built to transport iron ore and coal have been scrapped so far this year than in all of 2014 as the commodity slump stunts the life expectancy of bulk carriers. Twenty-nine Capesize vessels with an average age of 21.4 years have been turned into scrap through March 4, according GMS Inc., the world’s biggest cash buyer of ships for recycling, citing data from Clarkson Plc. That’s a faster pace than the 93 destroyed all of last year and the 25 in 2014. The Baltic Dry Index, a measure of what shipowners earn from transporting commodities, has plunged to the lowest in more than 30 years amid slowing Chinese demand. 7. Consumer spending is a bright spot, or is it? Biggest increase in 6 years (mostly autos). Scary trend of auto loans for 125% of car value.
