  • Will All Shipping Companies Suffer Equally? [View article]

    Good point. FRO only has 8 vessels out of their 76 that are capable of transporting ore, O/B/O types, 10.5% of their fleet. SFL has 8 of their vessels being O/B/O types and only 1 dedicated Dry Bulk vessel, of their 58 vessel fleet or the potential for 15.5% of their business effected by dry bulk rates. Using the happenings of the BDI, BPI, or BCI to explain the quarterly results of these companies is only as effective as the percentage of their business participating in this type of transport IMHO. Reporting on the effect of the oil transport industry for both of these companies would seem to be more meaningful, with dry bulk sprinkled in as a punctuation mark of the economic downturn for this sector in general..
