The January issue of Splash Extra gives readers the ultimate guide to shipping prospects in the Year of the Snake.
The Lunar New Year is not starting too well with many sectors struggling to break even in January.
The cross-sector ClarkSea Index, a weighted barometer covering all shipping segments, eased back by 8% last Friday to $21,128 a day, the lowest level for more than a year and with the average in 2025 so far down by 10% year-on-year, though still up 13% on the 10-year trend.
In this special Lunar New Year issue, analysts are polled as to which sector will see the greatest uptick in fortunes in the coming months, while Splash Extra has even consulted a Feng Shui master to determine key signposts shipping should be looking out for throughout 2025. This month’s in-depth feature assesses what shipping can take away from the first 10 days of the new Trump administration in the US.
Published on the last Wednesday of every month, Splash Extra serves as a concise monthly snapshot, ensuring readers are on top of where the shipping markets are headed.
