Written analysis
Market notes and scenario outlooks for the commodities and routes your team covers.
- T01 Coal, iron ore & grainThe three pillars of dry bulk demand at bilateral, commodity-level resolution.
- T02 Steel, fertiliser & forestrySpecialised modules for higher-value, lower-volume dry cargo flows.
- T03 Minor bulks & cementCoverage of the long tail that drives Supramax and Handysize demand.
- T04 Containerised bulk flowsIdentifies dry bulk commodities moving in container — a growing share of grain, fertiliser and minor bulks.
Dry bulk trade data, structured for decisions.
Our dry bulk trade data covers bilateral commodity flows for every major dry cargo, integrated with vessel demand, route economics and tonne-days analytics — including container-borne dry bulk.
Historical depth for context. Forward-looking projection for decisions.
Tanker tradeflow intelligence.
The same tradeflow rigour applied to crude, oil products, LNG, LPG, seed oils and chemicals — for teams covering both sides of the shipping market.
Explore Tanker DataForecast vessel demand and freight market direction.
The forecasting platform integrates customs tradeflow, vessel demand modelling and voyage-day calculations into a single, commodity-level view of dry bulk demand.
Designed for teams who need to understand where rates are heading — and why.
- F01 Commodity-level demand forecastsFive-year monthly forecasts across every major dry bulk commodity.
- F02 Vessel demand modellingTonne-days and voyage-day translations of cargo flows into vessel utilisation.
- F03 Route & regional dislocationSpot rerouting and structural shifts before they print in spot rates.
- F04 Scenario sensitivityTest geopolitical and policy shocks against the underlying demand model.
Model market outcomes before they happen.
Stress-test the freight market against the shocks that actually move it — and quantify the impact on vessel demand and rate direction.
Sanctions & conflict
Quantify rerouting impact when trade lanes close, divert or reopen.
Energy substitution
Model the demand consequence as coal, gas and renewables compete for share.
Routing disruption
Suez, Panama, Cape of Good Hope — translate route shifts into tonne-days.
Tariffs & policy shifts
Trace the cargo-flow reaction to new tariffs, export bans and trade deals.
Commodity demand shocks
Run the model against China steel, Indian coal or Brazilian grain scenarios.
Fleet supply dynamics
Pair demand scenarios with newbuild, scrapping and speed assumptions.
Built for the strategic seat.
Tradeviews is used by the people responsible for taking a view on freight — across owners, operators, analysts and research desks.
Long-term direction.
Medium-term cycles.
Short-term shocks.
Dry bulk freight responds to forces playing out over very different timescales — long-term structural shifts that unfold across five to ten years, medium-term cycles that play out over one to two years, and short-term shocks that move rates within months.
Reading the market means holding all three timescales in view. Tradeviews integrates structural tradeflow with medium-term and short-term shock analysis so strategists can do exactly that.
