The three Cs: SSY sees China, Covid-19 and carbon dominating second half

The three Cs of China, Covid-19 and carbon dominated shipping markets in the first half of 2021.

Shipbroker Simpson Spence Young (SSY) has predicted that they will continue to impact the industry for the rest of the year.

“The first is still the dominant force in shipping, the second continues to have an impact across the globe, and the third is fast becoming one of the key priorities in sustainable shipping,” wrote chairman Mark Richardson in the introduction to SSY’s mid-year outlook for 2021.
