“The tanker shipping market saw a brief increase in activities in early-July but they were not sustainable. In dry bulk shipping, the market witnessed a rather strong upward trend in rates for capesizes in September, pushing the BDI to 2,127 points at one point,” CMES commented.
It added that due to the grim outlook of the tanker market, the company has projected continued losses for its financial year ending 2013.
