Dry bulk shipping companies likely to incur losses in 2011

The Baltic Dry Index has been declining due to the floods in Australia that cause the closure of coalmines.

According to Phillip Securities Research, new vessels continue to enter the shipping market and cause an overcapacity. Phillip Securities Research believes that at the level of 1,107 on 31 January 2011, the dry bulk shipping companies are likely to incur losses on shipping cargoes.

It is anticipated that it may take several months before the situation in Australia improves and mines reopen.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
