Research and Markets: Tanker and Bulker Freight Forecaster Subscription Package

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f4dbc2/tanker_and_bulker) has announced the addition of the "Tanker and Bulker Freight Forecaster Package" subscription to their offering.

This package contains both the Tanker Freight Forecaster and the Bulker Freight Forecaster.

The Freight Forecaster is published in the first week of every month and dispatched by e-mail. It provides a short term outlook and forecast for spot and TC freight earnings, as well as active fleet supply, by vessel size range, separately within the Tanker and Dry Bulk Markets.

The Freight Forecaster is the only monthly report with the editorial freedom and authority to publish explicit freight explicit earnings projections.

MSI has complete editorial control and readers can also have complete confidence in the integrity and independence of the forecasts - the short term forecasts made in the reports are in line with those produced as a result of MSI's other independent forecasting services.

The Freight Forecaster draws upon the widest possible range of hard market information from recognised industry sources and softer intelligence from the broking, banking and trading sectors.

Each report provides a clear and coherent market insight by explaining the key forces driving the future supply/demand of active tonnage and their impact upon freight earnings within each vessel segment in order to assess the under- and over-performing sectors.

By evaluating the short-term fundamentals the Freight Forecaster aims to distinguish between temporary spikes in earnings, seasonality and more decisive shifts in market trends.

The Freight Forecaster can be benchmarked on a regular basis against various forward paper markets and used to help determine short term freight exposure.

The best way to highlight likely future rate developments is to identify key, fundamental market signals (given an assessment of underlying market liquidity and volatilities) and present them in a clear, well-balanced way.

Every page of the Freight Forecaster presents explicit benchmark forecasts in concise tables, and coloured graphics.

Incisive text outlines the principal forecast components each month for every vessel segment and gives a clear insight into the key risks to and drivers of freight earnings and active supply.

Readers who would find the report useful would be those with an active interest in the short term commercial outlook of shipping, such as shipowner/operators, financial institutions, shipbuilders, shipbrokers and FFA traders as well as research analysts and journalists.
