Dry Bulk Shipping Insight
07-08 June 2011
Gibson Hall, London
It’s tough out there, but when can we expect a market upturn? Do we face a re-run of the 1980s or will Asian demand absorb the glut of tonnage sooner rather than later? Renowned dry market analyst Fred Doll has assembled a crack team of experts to take a step back from the frantic daily market and assess the fundamentals of dry bulk shipping supply and demand.

Message from Fred Doll, conference chairman
“After years of speaking at conferences and hearing a mix of great, good and indifferent speakers, I thought, 'Why don’t I get together top analysts in the dry bulk market and get them to provide the industry with real insight? Put together a programme that stresses the most important factors? Contact speakers with real niche expertise who have experienced the highs and lows of this volatile sector? In short, create a conference that I would want to attend?'
We can’t be certain of what the future holds, but we can take a disciplined, fundamentals-based look at the sector and screen out the noise."
