The global dry bulk shipping industry is an essential part of the international shipping industry, with ocean-going vessels representing the most efficient, and often the only method of transporting large volumes of basic commodities and finished products. The dry bulk shipping is defined as the transportation of homogenous bulk cargoes by bulk vessels on an irregular scheduled line. In 2013, global steel demand grew higher than anticipated due to a stronger than expected performance in the developed world in the second half of the year mainly driven by the strength gained by the recovery of the US. Also, growing construction activities globally results in increased demand for iron ore and coking coal which increases seaborne trade of these dry bulk commodities.

As per the report "Global Dry Bulk Shipping Market: 2014 Edition", China accounts for the major share of the imports and exports of key dry bulk commodities. Ameliorating global economic development, rising urban population, rising grain production and unceasingly climbing coal industry are providing immense growth opportunity for the respective market.
