Maritime industry
Article Abstract:
Declining commodity production, slow emerging market growth, high stocks, and overcapacity have made the rate structure in the maritime industry very poor, but this may change in the near future. World demand for oil is expected to double in the year 2000, and this will aid industry finances, along with consolidation, especially in the containership sector. Investors need to concentrate on cash flow and liquidity as business conditions for the maritime industry are not forecast to improve until the second half of the year 2000.

Maritime industry
Article Abstract:
The Ocean Shipping Reform Act has had a number of impacts on the maritime industry, but it should be positive over the years. Shipping remains strong between the US and Asia, but carriers have lost money in other areas in the past few years and the market is uncertain for the bulk sector. These stocks have underperformed the market in 1999 and should be avoided, although long-term investors could find several attractive.
