Ship recycling activity improves but no mass scrapping expected yet
- Vessel cash buyers and brokers report a pickup in sales of ships for recycling
- With all sectors experiencing strong freight rates or charter earnings, no significant upturn in scrapping is expected
- Recycling prices appear to have stabilised as steel markets have benefited from local currency gains against the US dollar
Still no signs of a significant downturn in earnings that could trigger a return to mass recycling of ships
