GENCOA 20 September 2016 The GENCOA is BIMCO’s standard contract of affreightment for dry bulk cargoes.

It is not limited to a particular ship, but operates as a series of voyage charter parties. GENCOA has been designed to be used with any dry cargo charter party, although BIMCO would recommend the use of GENCON, COAL-OREVOY or GRAINCON.

Dry Bulk Shipping - The positive window extends to the 4th quarter 11 October 2013 It has been a joyride for Capesize owners in September. During that month, freight rates lifted from the USD 10,000-15,000 per day interval experienced from mid-June until the beginning of September, when the market caught fire in a big way.

Dry Bulk Shipping - New orders are still inked at high pace. 2012 is now set to be the biggest delivery year of them all at 88 million DWT 10 October 2010 Following the summer dip where Capesize was hit badly, dry bulk freight rates have once again bounced back like a tumbler. Capesize rates are back at year-to-date average around USD 30,000 per day. Capesize freight rates are moving like a heartbeat, but at lower and lower pulse levels and going deeper and deeper as more vessels enter the market. In spite of remaining inefficiencies in the supply chain, slow steaming, and continued strong demand for raw materials going forward, the big ships are in for a fundamental imbalance between supply and demand.
