(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 04/06/12 -- The Shipping Industry has continued to struggle. Although there has been stabilization in the U.S. economy and fears of the euro crisis subsiding, the slowdown in China's growth has become a massive concern. China recently lowered its target growth for 2012 to 7.5 percent, the lowest level since 2004. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Shipping Industry and provides equity research on Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. (NYSE: GNK) and Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd. (NYSE: EXM).

As China looks to increase domestic output of iron ore, we could see their iron ore imports fall as much as 14 percent. Domestic iron ore production increased by 283 million tons, or 27.2 percent, last year. The commodity makes up nearly 50 percent of the cargo transported by the Shipping Industry. "Decline in Chinese iron ore imports for 2012 would be a highly negative development for the (larger) capesize markets," said Rahul Kapoor, a Singapore-based analyst at investment bank RS Platou Markets.
