ISL Shipping Statistics and Market Review (SSMR)

What is new since 2007?
The lay-out of the publications was streamlined, this has not only to do with the "ISL corporate identity" but also with the intention to improve the layout standards in line with additional information - the latter is a permanent process.
We realised for the "ISL Shipping Statistics and Market Review" a new conceptual approach to divide more clearly specific market topics (analytical focus) and market indicators (market review).
Each issue of the SSMR 2007 includes an "ISL Market Review" with leading indicators to reflect market trends continuously, namely: Economic indicators, World merchant fleet, Freight and charter market, Shipping prices and costs, World shipbuilding, World port traffic.
We differentiate between 28 separate indicators which reflect relevant market developments on a monthly and quarterly basis.

This English language publication comprises the following sections:
