Practice Areas > Shipping

Shipping is a global industry and its prospects are closely tied to the level of overall economic activity in the world. A higher level of economic growth would generally lead to higher demand for industrial raw materials, which in turn, will boost imports and exports.

Freights and more

The global shipping industry can be broadly classified into wet bulk (like crude and petroleum products), dry bulk (like iron ore and coal) and liners. Under liners, it has containers, MPP and Ro-Ros type of vessels. There are various benchmarks that determine freight rates for these segments. The prominent amongst them are Baltic Freight Index, Baltic Handymax Index (for dry bulk segment) and World Scale (for tankers).
