Smaller operators in the container sector remain vulnerable, but there are plenty of geopolitical reasons why certain marriages won’t be sanctioned. The dry bulk sector is far more fragmented than containers. A prolonged period of low freight rates is now weakening vessel owners’ resolve. In Singapore, BW Group, riding high on the back of oil and gas revenues, is openly in the market to snap up distressed assets as vessel values fall in tandem with dry market rates. It’s a strategy that presupposes an upturn in the dry market at a date in the not-too-distant future; whether the policy will be to become a major player in the dry bulk business or to sell modern vessels at improved rates.
