Shipbuilding Economics (SHIPS)

By challenging conventional wisdom, MSI's Shipbuilding Service (SHIPS) quarterly report provides readers with a comprehensive, independent guide to shipbuilding market interrelationships, complementing historical and forecast data from MSI's latest SHIPS model scenario with in-depth text and charts highlighting and analysing market dynamics and forecast risks.

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)
  • Passenger Ships (principally Cruise Ships)

MSI's SHIPS report is typically 60 pages long, comprising extensive commentary and charts with data tables covering five-year historic and five-year forecast annual timeseries. It is available as an annual subscription of four quarterly reports or as a one-off purchase.
