Chasapis added that “a much stronger strategy has always been a much broader approach to a diversified “portfolio” encompassing a distributed fleet across different shipping sectors.
The perilous path now is that it can be common amongst investors to take general long-term market relationships as a given rather than noticing the changing trends and be left greatly exposed to a risk that has not even been factored in”, Allied’s analyst concluded.
