Capesize Vessel Market Fundamentals. We think the outlook for the Capesize shipping market will remain favorable through 2025. Many of the same 2024 tailwinds that have benefited the Capesize market are expected to continue, including strong demand growth for dry bulk commodities, continued disruptions in the Red Sea, and a historically low orderbook for Capesize vessels. Additionally, lower interest rates could boost global economic trade and benefit industry participants.
