Tuesday, June 11, 7:10 AM Excel Maritime (EXM) announces a pre-packaged bankruptcy. A capital infusion by Gabriel Panaotides will be combined with the release of $30M of currently restricted cash.

Wednesday, March 27, 8:47 AM The skittish dry bulk shipping sector could take a turn higher today with Jim Cramer backing the sector for a recovery.

Monday, January 7, 12:37 PM Shipping stocks catch a wave with word out that shipping tycoon John Fredriksen might be looking to expand with a new order for vessels.

Daily advancers: FREE +26.4%, ESEA +4.9%, NEWL +12.7%, SB +1.4%, GNK +1.9%, EGLE +2.6%, SHIP +7.4%, EXM +10.6%, PRGN +15.3%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Friday, January 4, 11:05 AM Shipping firms trade higher in frenzied action tied to a strong outlook for shipping rates in 2013.

Friday, October 12, 2012, 8:48 AM Shipping stocks continue to suffer as forecasts for shipments of coal and iron ore are revised lower with China and Europe showing demand below expectations. After making an impressive run in Q1, the Guggenheim Shipping ETF (SEA) is now off over 15% for the following two quarters. Despite the malaise, analysts see some light at the end of the tunnel for 2013 as lower capacity helps support pricing in the sector. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
