Things may be turning around for the industry as stimulus measures announced by the Chinese government in September has seen demand for iron ore spike. China, who is the largest importer of iron ore, plans to purchase record amount of the commodity in the fourth quarter, which will help ease the current glut in shipping.
"We're finally getting back into a period when the market isn't so oversupplied," said Jeffrey Landsberg, managing director of Commodore Research & Consultancy. "When we do have sharp increases in demand, Capesize rates can rise significantly."
