Most shipping business is cyclical. Good decisions depend on good timing, both in chartering decisions and decisions about the purchase or sale of ship assets.
This module gives insights into making better decisions in contexts where timing is everything: in/out; long/short; key turning points. These decisions relate to the chartering, purchase, sale or scrapping of ships, within specific shipping market segments.
For each major market there are two sets of issues: the supply side such as forecasting new-building orders and deliveries, estimating slow streaming and lay-ups including the expected future lay-ups, etc, and the demand side, focusing on forecasting specific demands in particular geographic areas, roles of particular economies such as China, India, the US, etc.
A better understanding of each major shipping market will be provided, especially up-to-date forecasts regarding the future outlooks in the wet, dry, container and LNG markets.
This program is well suited for Managers in shipping-related companies: ship owners, ship brokers, ship-builders, ship equipment makers, etc. Also managers responsible for shipping in major shippers' organizations such as a oil companies, other related corporations, trading firms, would benefit from this. Managers who want to learn how to make better decisions, by taking advantage of cycles in general should also take this program.
A few core aspects of this module on shipping markets will be:
- A better understanding of the tonnage supply side, including new buildings, ships on order, scrapping, slow-streaming, etc.
- Better understanding of the demand side. Which industries are creating particularly strong demand for shipping such as oil, grain, etc? Which economic factors show this?
- Clear outlooks and forecasts for specific markets: dry (bulk), wet (tankers) and containers.
- Knowledge of how to handle the "loneliness at the top" that comes with making tough decisions – how to organize oneself for taking advantage of the cycles in shipping.
