The chances of success at sea depended upon the size of weapons and reliability of the guns (reload capability, accuracy, etc) and the manoeuvre capabilities of the ships. Well constructed ships and the power of the guns, were major assets to the…

The case states that Australia and India will increase their roles in the iron ore industry, which gives one an optimistic view on the future demand of capesize vessels. The production of iron ore in Australia is expected to increase; and the export of iron ore from India is also supposed to rise. This new possibilities for expansion should increase the demand of Ocean Carriers’ dry bulk capesizes and increase the amount of trading volume done by the company around the world. As for supply, the increase in technologies and manufacturing concerning capesizes will surely reduce the number of new vessels that need to be built each year. With the capesize fleet mostly under ten years of age, we do not…
