10th Capital Link Maritime Leaders Summit – Greece

A panel discussion titled “Dry Bulk at an Inflection Point: Supply, Demand & Corporate Strategy” was held on 1 June at the Athenaeum InterContinental Hotel in Athens, Greece.

During the discussion, speakers argued that geopolitical risks, including tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea crisis and congestion at the Panama Canal, are supporting tonne-mile demand, while an ageing fleet and limited newbuilding supply are providing additional support to the market.
