The Baltic Dry Index (BDI), which tracks worldwide shipping rates for dry-bulk cargoes in four vessel classes, reached a 25 year low in February. Hong Kong-based Macquarie Research argues that the drop represents "too much capacity in the face of more modest growth of trade volumes."
International environmental regulations are also being tightened and are demanding the Shipping Industry to reduce their sulfur and nitrous oxide emissions. Pressure from the UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO), who provides international standards to regulate the shipping industry, are forcing shipping companies to upgrade their ships with emission reducing systems.
