China tightens grip on iron ore shipping as Simandou fleet takes shape

  • Nearly all Guinea’s Simandou iron ore has gone to China this year
  • China is set to own more than half of the newly built VLOCs primed to ship iron ore from Guinea to China
  • While longer ore voyages from Guinea will boost vessel demand, weak steel output could limit growth

As the world’s largest iron ore importer, China is priming itself to capture a growing share of the long-haul shipping demand in both tonnage and volumes as Simandou route emerges
