What factors will influence the shipping market, and how are they linked? By studying the current and historical market, we are going to discover some new links. This book's charts and historical data are derived from Clarksons Research and Baltic Exchange. I very much appreciate their support in fulfilling the writing of this book. The study is based on the high liquidity shipping market with available transparency market data, like dry bulk carriers, oil tankers, and container ships. There are limitations to the data and method being used, and it may not work in some cases, but this will leave an opportunity for further discussion or development in the future. This book was initiated at the time when M/V STELLAR DAISY sank in South Atlantic at the end of March 2017, taking with her the lives of 22 crew members. I would like to contribute all profits from the sales of this book to the Sailors' Society in memory of those who lost their lives at sea. The international maritime charity, which supports seafarers and their families across the world, celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2018.
