MARKET & OUTLOOK

Bocimar – Dry Bulk Market¹

Dry bulk markets entered 2026 with strong momentum, with the Baltic Dry Index averaging materially higher year-on-year in Q2 and spot earnings across major dry-bulk vessel classes trending well above seasonal norms. Capesize C5TC (BCI-182) time charter equivalent (TCE) earnings averaged USD 39,806 per day during Q2 2026, compared to a 10-year historical average of USD 22,926 per day². Average sector earnings in the second quarter were supported by robust major bulk volumes, firm minor bulk activity, and generally tighter effective fleet supply. Continuing on a strong Q2, the Capesize C5TC (BCI-182) average for July stands at 38,646 USD/day, 13,671 USD/day higher compared to July 2025 (BCI-182 recalculated basis) – and increased further in August up to 46,201 USD/day.

Iron ore trade remained a key pillar of dry bulk demand during the second quarter of 2026. Overall global iron ore seaborne transportation increased by 0.9% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and by 12.2% between Q1 2026 and Q2 2026. China imported 316.4 million tonnes of iron ore in Q2, up 0.6% year-on-year, bringing first-half imports to 637.4 million tonnes, an increase of 5.1% compared to the same period last year. Although Chinese steel production remains under pressure, domestic iron ore production declined by 7% year-on-year to 466.9 million tonnes during the first half of the year, increasing reliance on higher-quality imported ores.

Looking ahead, continued strength in seaborne iron ore trade is supported by the production and shipment guidance of the major iron ore miners and the ongoing ramp-up of the Simandou project. Iron ore export volumes historically strengthen in the second half of the year, with weekly shipments typically increasing by approximately 7.7% from week 27 (start H2) through year-end compared with the first H1 weeks. Vale maintained its 2026 production guidance of 335-345 million tonnes, implying second-half production growth ranging from -2.0% to +3.4% year-on-year depending on the outcome within the guidance range. Fortescue's FY27 shipment guidance of 197-207 million tonnes points to broadly stable export volumes, while BHP's FY27 production guidance midpoint of 266 million tonnes is also broadly unchanged year-on-year. Rio Tinto's unchanged 2026 guidance implies a meaningful increase in second-half Pilbara shipments compared with the first half, while the gradual ramp-up of Simandou provides additional support to tonne-mile demand. Although initial Simandou volumes remain modest, the Guinea-China trade route is more than three times longer than the traditional Australia-China iron ore trade, creating a disproportionately positive impact on vessel demand and fleet utilisation.

Coal emerged as one of the strongest contributors to dry bulk demand during the quarter. Global seaborne coal transportation reached 276 million tonnes in Q2 2026, increasing by 11.8% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and by 15.1% between Q1 2026 and Q2 2026. Seaborne coal transportation accelerated following the disruption of Middle East energy flows, as higher LNG prices supported coal consumption in several importing countries (mainly Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). While coal demand remains closely linked to weather patterns and energy markets, current market fundamentals suggest continued support for seaborne coal demand through Q3 and potentially into Q4.

In addition, Chinese domestic coal production was constrained by enhanced safety inspections following a major mining accident, while rising summer temperatures and strong power demand increased import requirements. China’s electricity consumption rose 5.3% year-on-year during the first half of 2026, with repeated records in peak electricity loads. Demand for both thermal and metallurgical coal strengthened, with Australian coal shipments to China nearing multi-year highs in July 2026.

Bauxite continues to be one of the strongest growth commodities in the dry bulk market. Despite recurring rumours regarding export restrictions in Guinea, volumes have remained robust and largely uninterrupted. Global seaborne bauxite transportation reached 60.6 million tonnes in Q2 2026, increasing by 4.6% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and decreasing -13.9% between Q1 2026 and Q2 2026. As per the regular seasonal pattern, volumes eased during the peak rainy season (summer period). Volumes are expected to recover as weather conditions improve by Q3/Q4. As a result, bauxite is expected to remain an important source of tonne-mile demand during the second half of the year and continues to play an increasingly important role in global dry bulk trade growth.

Grain trade also provided solid support to dry bulk markets during the quarter. Global seaborne grains transportation reached 70.0 million tonnes in Q2 2026, increasing by 8.6% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and by 0.7% between Q1 2026 and Q2 2026. Brazil remained the dominant supplier (128 million tonnes for H1 or 27.8% market share), benefiting from a large crop and competitive pricing, while the United States (87 million tonnes for H1 or 18.9% market share) has gradually regained market share and is expected to increase exports during the upcoming harvest season. The competition between Brazilian and US exports to China is supportive for tonne-mile demand and is expected to sustain healthy vessel utilisation during the second half of 2026 as seasonal trade flows shift between origins.

Weather developments remain an important factor for dry bulk markets. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officially declared El Niño in June 2026, with a 97% chance it will persist through early spring 2027. Historically, major El Niño events have disrupted agricultural production, altered commodity trade patterns, affected hydropower generation and increased coal demand in several regions. Early impacts have already been observed in Asia through stronger electricity demand and changing energy consumption patterns. While full weather effects always remain uncertain, a prolonged and severe El Niño event could support additional commodity trade flows and increase volatility across several dry bulk cargo segments through late 2026 and into 2027.

There have been some reports about a pick-up in demand for coal-fired power generation in Japan and the need to replace the drop in hydro generation as 2Q26 El Niño weather patterns pressured hydropower output. This is happening on the backdrop of reduced gas-fired output on gas-to-coal switching as the Hormuz conflict continues to keep LNG prices high. Coal discharges to Japan have been up 4% year-over-year, with thermal coal discharges increasing to 53.9 million tonnes in H1 2026, whilst coking coal discharges remained largely flat.

Bocimar has 40 (+6NB) Newcastlemaxes on the water (average age 3.2y), 37 Capesize vessels on the water (average age 11.2y), and 30 Kamsarmax/Panamax vessels on the water (average age 7.4y).

Bocimar performance highlights:

Euronav – Tanker Markets³

Crude tanker markets experienced exceptional volatility during Q2 2026, primarily driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the disruption of shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz (SOH) and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Transit volumes through the Strait of Hormuz declined materially beginning of March from on average 120 daily crossing to on average 10 daily crossings between March and mid-June. On 17 June, the presidents of the US and Iran signed the Islamabad Memorandum, that formalized the process of ending the war and established a 60-day period to negotiate the final terms of a deal, enabling a temporary ceasefire. This resulted in a rapid recovery of Strait of Hormuz traffic with on average more than 40 daily SOH crossing. Geopolitical tensions escalated again in early July, and the ceasefire ended on July 7^th. As a resultant, daily crossing dropped again towards on average 20 daily crossings. Both sides have since treated the Islamabad MoU as void, the US blockade is reported as still operating, Bab el-Mandeb transits have fallen to multi-month lows on renewed Houthi activity – increasing the likelihood of Red Sea escalation risk.

The resulting scramble for available tonnage led to sharp spikes in spot freight rates across key benchmark routes. Against this backdrop, VLCC time charter equivalent (TCE) earnings averaged USD 140,029 per day in Q2 2026, compared to a Q2 10-year historical average of USD 30,198 per day. Suezmax earnings followed a similar trajectory, with Q2 2026 TCE averaging USD 146,567 per day versus a Q2 10-year average of USD 30,946 per day.

The disruption also led to a widespread reconfiguration of global crude trade flows. Importing nations increasingly sourced barrels from alternative regions, while exporters outside the Middle East, including the United States, Brazil, Kazakhstan and Venezuela, increased shipments to partially offset lost Arabian Gulf volumes. Longer voyage distances and a more complex trading environment temporarily supported tonne-mile demand and fleet utilisation. At the same time, elevated uncertainty around regional security conditions delayed a full return to normal trading patterns and encouraged charterers to secure tonnage well in advance. However, despite the strong freight market performance, several underlying market indicators suggest a more cautious medium-term outlook.

During the recent disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, Chinese crude imports declined sharply, as buyers drew on substantial inventories rather than competing aggressively for replacement barrels. China’s strategic and commercial crude inventories were estimated at around 1.25 billion barrels at the end of 2025, providing a significant buffer against supply shocks and elevated prices. This inventory position enables China to be a price-sensitive and tactical buyer of seaborne crude oil. Rather than acting as a passive source of demand, China can increasingly time purchases depending on price levels, refinery margins and geopolitical risk. This helped cushion the immediate impact of the Iran-related disruption on global oil prices, but it also makes future crude import demand more dependent on inventory cycles and opportunistic restocking. For crude tanker demand, the medium-term outlook therefore depends not only on underlying oil consumption, but also on the pace at which China rebuilds inventories. Once the oil prices settle again, restocking in China (and other Asian economies) could support seaborne crude flows and tonne-mile demand. At the same time, Chinese refiners remain cautious amid weakened domestic fuel demand, high product inventories and continued fuel substitution through continuously increasing electrification and growth in the renewables sector, and by oil to coal switching. China’s high EV penetration has allowed some switching to driving on electricity rather than gasoline: gasoline consumption was 23% lower and EV charging volume 60% higher year over year in April and May.

Despite recent geopolitical disruptions, the underlying global oil market continues to face the prospect of a significant supply surplus. To date, there has been no sustained damage to major energy production infrastructure, supporting expectations that global oil supply can recover relatively quickly once tensions ease. In such a scenario, depleted inventories would likely be replenished, and trade flows progressively normalise. While recent events have temporarily supported tanker demand through longer haul voyages, market fundamentals suggest that any prolonged normalisation of Middle-East trade flows could see tanker demand gradually return towards underlying historic levels. Looking ahead, the ever-growing crude tanker orderbook remains an important consideration for the medium-term market balance and earnings outlook. Over the past months, the orderbook experienced the strongest period of newbuilding investment in the last 50 years (620 VLCCs and Suezmax units on order).

Euronav has 2 FSOs (average age 24y), 4 (+1NB) VLCCs (average age <1.0y) and 15 Suezmaxes (average age 8.1y) on the water⁴.

Euronav performance highlights:

 Delphis – Container Markets⁵

Container markets strengthened during the second quarter of 2026, supported by resilient cargo demand, continued disruption in Middle Eastern trade lanes and elevated congestion across key transhipment hubs. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the delayed return of Red Sea transits extended voyage distances, tightened effective vessel supply and supported both freight and charter markets. As a result, time charter rates reached their highest levels outside the post-pandemic period, while freight rates increased materially throughout the quarter, particularly on the Asia-Europe and Transpacific trades. Global trade volumes remained resilient despite regional disruptions, supported by robust demand on the main East-West routes, Intra-Asia and North-South trades.

Peak season demand, ongoing supply chain adjustments and a gradual rather than immediate normalisation of Middle East trade flows are expected to support freight and charter markets during the remainder of the summer period. On the other side, China's official manufacturing PMI fell to 49.2 in July (from 50.3), returning to contraction after four months of expansion. The deterioration in both domestic and export demand points to softer demand for containerised imports of raw materials and intermediate goods, as well as slower growth in container exports in the coming months. If export demand continues to weaken, container shipping volumes on the major Asia–Europe and Transpacific trade lanes are likely to come under pressure.

While global container trade is still expected to continue growing during 2026 (+3.0% year-on-year in billion TEU-miles), fleet growth is forecast to exceed demand growth, supported by a historically large orderbook representing approximately 38% of the existing fleet. In addition, any eventual normalisation of Red Sea routing would reduce tonne-mile demand and increase effective vessel supply – meaning that for 2027, container demand is forecast to decrease by -5.8% in billion TEU-miles.

Delphis has 4 x 6,000 TEU (average age 1.8y) on the water and 1 NB 1,400 TEU container vessel. All vessels are employed under 10 to 15-year time charter contracts.

Bochem – Chemical Markets⁶

Chemical tanker markets remained relatively resilient during the second quarter of 2026 despite significant disruption to global trade flows following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. While chemical trade volumes temporarily declined and tanker transits through the region fell sharply, freight markets benefited from vessel dislocations, supply chain reconfiguration and longer voyage distances on selected routes. Spot freight rates remained above pre-conflict levels, supported by strong export activity from both the United States and Asia. US producers continued to benefit from a feedstock cost advantage, increasing exports to Europe, Latin America and Asia, while Chinese exporters leveraged strong inventories and feedstock flexibility to maintain robust regional trade flows.

As the quarter progressed, market participants adapted to the new operating environment, with chemical cargoes increasingly rerouted between regions. Demand for aromatics and petrochemical feedstocks remained broadly healthy, supported by inventory replenishment and shifting sourcing patterns. These developments generated additional tonne-mile demand on several long-haul corridors, partly offsetting reduced activity in the Middle East. At the same time, firm conditions in adjacent product tanker markets helped support vessel utilisation across the chemical tanker sector.

Looking ahead, the market outlook for the second half of 2026 remains constructive but subject to elevated uncertainty. The gradual normalisation of Hormuz transits should support a recovery in trade activity, although chemical cargo flows may take longer than crude oil and refined products to return to historical patterns. Furthermore, the sector faces a sizeable orderbook, with a meaningful number of chemical and product tanker deliveries scheduled through 2026-2028. While expected growth in seaborne chemical trade should absorb part of this additional capacity, the pace of demand recovery and vessel deliveries will be key determinants of freight market performance.

Bochem’s chemical tanker fleet comprises out of 8 delivered vessels, and 8 NB vessels (average age <1y). They are employed under a 10-year time charter (8 vessels), under a 7-year time charter (6 vessels), and in a spot pool (2 vessels).

Bochem performance highlights:

Windcat – Offshore Energy Markets⁷

The offshore energy market remained robust during the second quarter of 2026 despite a challenging investment backdrop for the wider offshore wind industry. While project sanctioning activity remained subdued, with only limited new final investment decisions recorded during the period, offshore wind construction, commissioning and operations & maintenance activity continued at high levels across Europe and Asia. A near-record pipeline of projects under construction supported strong demand for both CSOVs and CTVs, resulting in high utilisation and healthy chartering activity.

The European CSOV market remained particularly strong throughout the quarter. High fleet utilisation, limited prompt vessel availability and continued demand from offshore wind installation and maintenance campaigns supported attractive charter rates. Premium CSOVs were largely committed through the summer season, with charter rates typically ranging between EUR 50,000 and EUR 75,000 per day. Demand broadened beyond offshore wind as oil and gas operators increasingly adopted walk-to-work solutions for offshore maintenance activities. This growing crossover demand helped absorb additional capacity entering the market and further strengthened utilisation levels. European Tier-1 CSOV utilisation remained close to full employment, while average charter rates increased year-on-year. Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, market fundamentals remain supportive. Offshore wind construction activity across Europe, particularly in the Baltic Sea and North Sea, is expected to sustain strong demand for offshore support vessels, while emerging opportunities in the oil and gas sector provide an additional source of employment for CSOVs. However, visibility beyond 2026 remains more balanced with the rapid CSOV fleet expansion.

The CTV market also delivered solid performance during the quarter. Vessel availability tightened significantly ahead of the summer maintenance season, with most vessels fixed on contracts and only limited spot capacity available. Strong utilisation across Northwest Europe supported stable charter rates at historically attractive levels. Continued growth in offshore wind operational capacity and increasing maintenance requirements provided a supportive backdrop for vessel demand, while newbuild ordering activity remained disciplined.

Windcat has 3 (+4NB) CSOVs (average age <1y), and 60 (+3NB) CTVs (average age 10.4y).
