Each report contains analysis on:
- The global issues affecting shipbuilding demand and profitability
- Trade and employment in each sector of cargo and passenger shipping
- New contracts, orderbooks, cancellations, slippage, deliveries and fleets by vessel type and size
- Shipyard costs, capacity by major building region
- Global yard operating rates, average shipyard profitability and prices by vessel size and type
The shipping sectors covered by SHIPS include:
- Dry Cargo (Dry Bulk Carriers, Containerships, General Cargo, Reefers)
- Liquid Cargo (Crude Tankers, Product Tankers, Chemical Tankers)
- Gas Carriers (LPG Carriers, LNG Carriers)
- Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo Cargo, RoPax, Car Carrier)
