  • Fleet growth forecast at 3.5%, but effective growth lower due to inefficiencies.
  • Increased drydock activity expected, affecting fleet availability and charter rates.
  • Higher bunker fuel prices support freight markets and reduce available shipping capacity.
  • Dry bulk trade volumes forecast to rise by 5% in 2025, driven by strong exports.
  • Potential acquisition linked to Diana Shipping could boost Star Bulk's scale and earnings.
