The last few years has seen shipping experience what many have described as the “perfect storm” with banks pulling out of lending to the industry, low freight rates and high fuel bills meaning that owners and operators are lucky if they are able to cover their costs.

If shipping as a whole has been experiencing economical and financial challenges, the sector is also having to grasp the nettle of increasing levels of regulation in the industry, not least as far as the environment is concerned.

Asia Pacific, Middle East

In these challenging situations, risk management is becoming ever more important, and “know your counter-party” is the order of the day.

World Shipping incorporating Freight Focus provides an insight, not just into the outlook of the maritime sector as a whole, but also a specialist section dealing with the physical movement of freight from one part of the world to another including insurance, port and logistic challenges.

The publication is divided into three sections to incorporate the wider shipping environment. The first includes ship management and shipping technology as well as geographical and sector analysis including the heavy lift & project forwarding sectors which are the focus of much attention as the difficulties in transporting cargo values and insuring them, becomes more intense. Different geographical areas/ sectors and commodities on which the industry’s attention is centred will be covered.

The second section deals with green and environmental issues against the background of the implementation of various IMO resolutions The third section is specifically freight focused looking at all aspects of the movement of cargo, including the movement of cargo from a physical aspect as well as paper trading. In recent years, the traditional physical movement of goods from port to port with all that it entails in terms of insurance, ship operations, manning and crewing, safety and security, has been joined by paper trading. Involvement in freight trading is no longer just a physical exercise but an electronic transaction, which manages, and hedges risk through forward freight agreements.

These transactions include ship owners, traders, brokers, charterers, port and harbour authorities, but in particular banks, hedge funds and investors. With bank finance tight, shipping has been attracting the attention of private equity investors and speculators who wish to enter the sector. We hope that you will find this publication provides valuable insights in the current environment. www.world-shipping.net
