Compared to the first quarter of last year, this means that Handysize ordering is increased about 300%, which is quite significant especially if one compares this increase to the dramatic decrease in ordering of Capesize/VLOC vessels this years, which is estimated at -92%, outlining the difference in prevailing sentiment in the two sizes.
