In the first episode of the Seatrade Maritime Podcast for 2025 you will hear from Maritime Strategies International (MSI) analysts Adam Kent, Daniel Richards, Will Fray, and Tim Smith. They will be covering the macro-outlook for shipping as whole and then drilling down into the individual markets of container shipping, dry bulk, tankers, and shipbuilding.

Find out the MSI team’s views on:

  • Whether container freight rates will remain elevated in 2025?

  • Can the dry bulk market absorb all the newbuildings expected to be deliver in 2025?

  • After several years of exceptional growth is the tanker market set for weaker times ahead?

  • Newbuilding order levels in 2024 were the highest since 2007 – are we set for another record year?

To hear the answers to these questions and much more listen to the episode now.
