The shipping industry entered 2009 in a state of crisis. All shipping sectors had been hit hard, with the dry bulk sector struggling to recover from a plunge in November 2008 that took the Baltic Dry Index to a nine-year low. Rumours persisted that containers were being shipped for a little as US$200 and that the only thing keeping the liquid bulk sector afloat was that tankers were being used for floating storage rather than the actual transport of oil. It is in the climate of uncertainty that BMI has launched a new set of reports to its portfolio the BMI Shipping Reports. BMI's research and analysis of the shipping sector indicates the global economic downturn and constriction of trade is set to impact upon Turkey's shipping sector in 2009. This can be seen in our forecasts for the Turkish shipping sector, where we have used measurements of throughput at the country's main port of Ambarli as an indicator of how much demand there is for shipping. In 2008 the port handled 4mn tonnes, we believe that throughput at the facility will decline by 28.9% to 2.8mn tonnes in 2009. Container volumes at the port are also predicted to decline with BMI forecasting a decrease of 22% with the port expected to handle 1.756mn TEUs in 2009. BMI's Turkey Shipping Report offers data from previous years of its port throughput, which has been used along with our forecasts of the country's imports and exports to predict throughput trends for the next five years (2009-2013) as well as detailed analysis to explain our assumptions behind these forecasts. The BMI Turkey Shipping Report offers in-depth analysis into the three main shipping sectors of container, bulk dry and bulk liquid and detailing the strategy that major shipping companies in these sectors have so far implemented to protect themselves against the downturn. We also offer analysis of other tactics that we feel operators in these sectors could use over 2009 as trade continues to contract. The report offers an overview of country's main port of Ambarli with analysis of the port's facilities, expansions and developments that are already under way at the port or planned to increase the ports working capabilities as well as details of multi-modal links from the port to the rest of the country's transport network. Finally the Turkey Shipping Report offers an in-depth overview of 11 of the main global shipping companies (China Shipping, CMA CGM, COSCO, Evergreen, Hanjin, Hapag Lloyd, Maersk, MOL, MSC, NOL, NYK.) BMI analyses the firms' vital financial statistics, the companies' different operating sectors and their most recent activity. On top of this, the Turkey Shipping Report offers a country specific overview on Maersk and CMA CGM's shipping operations in the country.
