1) “There are too many ships. People have over-ordered and it is starting to bite. There are 235 new Capesize vessels hitting the market this year,” he said.
2) More murky is the game being played between China and the big Iron ore companies, Vale, BHP, and Rio. China has stockpiled a near record 70 million of iron ore.
