Drewry: Weak Olefin Trade Puts Pressure on LPG Shipowners
Strong fleet growth and weak olefin trade are expected to keep the freight market for Handysize vessels under pressure throughout 2018, shipping consultancy Drewry said.
The market has been under pressure since 2017, but olefin trade growth has averaged 3.1% annually over 2012-17, down from 4% during 2007-12. Although Handysize vessels can also carry LPG, the market is oversupplied with bigger vessels and there is limited employment opportunity in this trade for Handysizes.Posted On:29-May-2018
