New data reveals just how far ship orders have sunk. The less that are ordered, the higher future rates could climb.

Halt of cruise voyages will slash HFO demand, a positive for cargo ships with scrubbers.

Ship scrubbers no longer equate to big savings on fuel costs. Is this only temporary?

Slashed oil production is bad for tankers, but fallout for container ships hinges on price action.

An exclusive interview with Matt Heider, CEO of voyage-optimization platform Nautilus Labs.

Momentum builds for decarbonization of ocean shipping but it’s far from a done deal.

It has become even harder to determine what the prevailing bulk ocean freight rate really is.

A new book places IMO 2020 in the context of a potential “third revolution” for shipping.

What’s going on in dry bulk, the world’s largest transport market by volume, is a cautionary tale for all ocean segments.

Good news if you’re a shipper of coal, grain and iron ore: ocean transport is once again looking cheap. Bad news if you’re an owner of a dry bulk carrier: income is even weaker.

In a high-stakes business that’s this unpredictable, it’s vital to keep a sharp watch on the wild cards you can foresee and mentally prepare yourself to be surprised by those you can’t.

Are ship owners and operators successfully passing along the higher cost to beneficial cargo owners (BCOs)? The very early answer appears to be: mostly no.

If there’s going to be a global carbon tax on ocean shipping someday, the industry itself wants to devise the “architecture” of how this levy is charged and collected.

What would happen to global trade if the EU implemented some form of carbon pricing and the IMO did not follow suit, or did so years later, leading to a ‘Balkanization’ of carbon-emission regimes?

Shipping's deep-seated focus on spot rates could complicate plans to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint in the years ahead.

New ship orders are grinding to a halt due to uncertainty over which designs can meet future GHG rules.

ESG investors are shunning shipping stocks, but dividends should bolster total returns.

It’s officially crunch time — the IMO 2020 rule comes into force in less than two months. Yet even today, no one actually knows what mix of fuel the world’s shipping industry will consume.

New freight indices provide visibility on potential earnings premiums of scrubber-equipped vessels.

The International Energy Agency now believes implementation of the new fuel rule could be "much smoother than expected."
