Owners of tankers, bulkers and boxships are seeing the busiest sale-and-purchase (S&P) markets for more than 10 years, according to Clarksons Platou Securities.
The investment bank, a division of shipbroking giant Clarksons, said in a report that deals have increased in recent months to levels way above those experienced during the pandemic, but also well beyond previous years.
"In fact, it has been over a decade since buying activity has been elevated and aligned across the three conventional shipping sectors of tankers, dry bulk and containers," said Clarksons Platou Securities analysts Frode Morkedal and Omar Nokta.
