散货船市或现水晶球般扑朔迷离

Bulk carrier market,complicated and confusing

面对供不应求的造船订单，造船业在过去的几年里着实为船市的繁荣显得乐不可支。而在一片火爆旺盛中，散货船订造更是“一枝红杏出墙来”。在引领船市的繁荣中，面对钢材等原材料价格上涨、油价高攀以及劳动力成本加大等问题，能否持续升温、风光依旧，成为眼下船厂、买家以及船东关注的一大焦点。

While bulk carrier market continues to sing in the present prosperity,a less optimistic news has been brought about by the world's largest shipbuilding enterprise Hyundai Heavy Industries: if steel prices continue to rise,the second half of this year,South Korea will have a large number of small and medium-sized shipyards on the verge of closure. The outlook of dry bulk freight fluctuations in the bulk shipping market in 2008 and bulk carrier manufacturing market looks like a crystal ball,complicated and confusing. Be vigilant in peace time,forward planning and timely restructuring and industrial upgrading,and use of product design,production and other aspects of the inter-industry cooperation,the development of low dependence on steel,high added value,the smaller impact of supply and demand situation of mutations for the advanced ships,will be the inevitable choice to go out of 'crystal ball' effect.
