OVERVIEW Analysts predict that 2012 will be as volatile of a year for the dry bulk sector as in 2011, in which an overwhelming supply of new carriers entered the market. Furthermore, with banks incorporating stringent lending practices, vessel owners are finding it increasingly difficult to secure financing for their projects. In light of such developments, what does the future hold for the dry bulk industry? The latest chapter of the Capital Link Webinar Series brings together three leading industry executives who will address today's challenges and outlook for the dry bulk sector, their respective rationale behind long term optimism toward supply and demand fundamentals, and why investors should not turn a blind eye to the group.
