Peter Sand, together with Jonathan Chappel, Evercore ISI Senior Marine Transportation Analyst, will go through the current trends and outlook for the dry bulk and tanker markets, as well as which markets face the biggest opportunities and challenges over the coming 18 months.

BI’s Senior Freight Transportation and Logistics Analyst, Lee Klaskow, will moderate a discussion including the following focus points:

• What will the global economic backdrop look like for shipping in the second half of 2017 and into 2018?
• What will be the catalyst for higher dry bulk and tanker rates and where do they go from here? 
• How are tanker operators adapting to the new realities of lower oil prices and increased US production?
• Will China save the dry bulk market or will higher rates come from managing the supply side more effectively?
• What will supply-demand dynamics look like in the coming years for tanker and dry bulk markets?
• What opportunities and challenges will shipping companies face over the next 18 months?
• What are the best ways for equity investors to play the shipping market?
