2017 was an interesting year for the global freight market. The growth of ecommerce sparked air freight capacity shortages on core trade lanes and drove air freight rates to record highs. The ocean market in 2017 was more stable, with greater predictability (fewer blank sailings), an early and flattened-out peak season, and price levels between 5% and 20% higher than in 2016. This was mostly driven by the unsustainable market in 2016 that led to Hanjin’s bankruptcy and massive consolidation. Further significant disruptions were caused by the Petya malware virus and storms like Hurricane Harvey, leading to delays, re-routings, and temporary capacity issues.

Chinese state newspaper says capacity cuts in steel and coal will be increased, while campaign will be extended to sectors including cement, glass, electrolytic aluminium and shipping
China will increase its targets for capacity cuts in steel and coal in 2017, while extending its campaign against overcapacity to industries such as cement, glass, electrolytic aluminium and shipping, a state-run newspaper said on Friday.
China has vowed to restructure its vast industries to tackle inefficiency and cut capacity overhangs – early in 2016 it promised to cut around 500 million tonnes of coal capacity and 100-150 million tonnes of steel capacity in three to five years.

The BDI gained 24 points and now read 1,361…
The Capers returned to a plus mode with the BCI up 14 points at 2,642…
Panamaxes did better and the BPI now stands at 1,499 – up 35 points.
The Supras were up too[ the BSI gained 27 points and now stands at 950 approaching the 1,000 point mark.
