PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 07, 2009 – The shipping industry entered 2009 in a state of crisis. All shipping sectors had been hit hard, with the dry bulk sector struggling to recover from a plunge in November 2008 that took the Baltic Dry Index to a nine-year low. Rumours persisted that containers were being shipped for a little as US$200 and that the only thing keeping the liquid bulk sector afloat was that tankers were being used for floating storage rather than the actual transport of oil. It is in the climate of uncertainty that BMI has launched a new set of reports to its portfolio the BMI Shipping Reports. BMI's research and analysis of the shipping sector shows that a downturn that took hold in Q408 is persisting and looks set to get deeper in 2009. BMI's US Shipping Report offers data from previous years of its port throughput, which has been used along with our forecasts of the country's imports and exports to predict throughput trends for the next five years (2009-2012) as well as detailed analysis to explain our assumptions behind these forecasts. The BMI US Shipping Report offers in-depth analysis into the three main shipping sectors of container, bulk dry and bulk liquid and detailing the strategy that major shipping companies in these sectors have so far implemented to protect themselves against the downturn. We also offer analysis of other tactics that we feel operators in these sectors could use over 2009 as trade continues to contract. Finally the US Shipping Report offers an in-depth overview of 11 of the main global shipping companies (China Shipping, CMA CGM, COSCO, Evergreen, Hanjin, Hapag Lloyd, Maersk, MOL, MSC, NOL, NYK. BMI analyses the firms' vital financial statistics, the companies' different operating sectors and their most recent activity. On top of this, the US Shipping Report offers a country specific overview on Maersk and CMA CGM's shipping operations in the country.
