ABOUT SHIPPING INDUSTRY


    About 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry. Without shipping, the global allocation of goods would not be possible, food and other essential goods would not be delivered to those who needed. Compare to other forms commercial of transport, shipping is not only the most economic way to transport good globally, but the least environmentally damaging form.

Dry bulk shipping refers to the movement of significant commodities carried in bulk : iron ore, coal, grains- the so-called major bulks, together semi-finished goods such as steel products (coils, plates and rods), lumber or log carriers, cement, fertilizer, precious metal, and other commodities.

A DILIGENT DRY BULK OPERATOR AND TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT


    Dry bulk cargo comprises more than 40% of all international seaborne trade. Global seaborn dry bulk demand has risen significantly in recent years, courtesy of China’s rapidly growing economy and tremendous demand for raw materials. Massive investments in infrastructure, housing and burgeoning domestic consumption have also contributed to an increased appetite for dry goods and global trades of iron ore, coal, grains, fertilizers and precious metals, leading the development in the bulk market.
