Understanding Geopolitical Impacts on Dry Bulk Market Dynamics
How high-integrity market data can increase confidence in commercial decisions

What to expect
The uncertainty of geopolitical events can cause owner-operators, charterers, and even investors to have to rethink their entire strategy—leading to exhausted resources and effort. However, high-integrity market data can be what sets maritime organizations apart by enabling them to secure opportunities fast.
In this webinar, BIMCO’s Niels Rasmussen will look at historical Oceanbolt data to understand the impact of geopolitical events on dry bulk markets today, such as wide-spread decarbonization efforts and the ongoing disruption in the Panama and Suez canals. Additionally, maritime stakeholders will learn how to leverage high-integrity data as a helpful tool for visualizing market trends, improving predictions, and elevating commercial decisions.
What we’ll cover
- How disruption in both the Panama and Suez canals have impacted journey duration
- Why monitoring decarbonization is critical to assessing market stability
- How Oceanbolt data can power custom insights and aggregate data seamlessly
- Why high-integrity market data is key to improving information readiness and the ability to secure opportunities fast
