Since 2014, the recovery of global economy has been speeding up. Meanwhile, the low-end production capacity of shipping industry has been compressed with the ongoing profound industrial restructuring, The obsolescence of old vessels leads to the rise of market demand. Will these three factors be able to accelerate the recovery of shipping industry? Orders of new-buildings that were placed during 2005 and 2008, when the industry was at its peak time, have all been delivered, leading to the prediction that there will be a 4% increase of chemial shipping capacity, and a 6% increase of trade volume. The trend of chemical shipping industry’s  healthy development is not vague as before anymore.

Shale Gas Revolution of America has completely changed its role in the global energy pattern. With petrochemicals’ sharpt increase of competitiveness in America, will it enlarge the export volume of liquid chemicals so as to change the global chemical shipping lines? With the lifting of sanctions against Iran, a bunch of international enterprises are actively returning for oil and gas projects. How will it infulence the Mid-East shipping line? Is the freight of the three shipping lanes for small and medium sized chemical tankers (Persian Gulf-the Far East, Persian Gulf-Mediterranean, and Persian Gulf-Rotterdam) rising from its bottom, staying at the middle level in history, heading for the period of steady growth?

The recession of China’s costal shipping market in 2014 is far beyond expectation, due to the plumping demand of the domestic chemicals. Major chemical products for water transportation, like methanol, MEG and SM, have experienced declines in demands from the beginning of 2014, reflecting a general downturn in domestic chemical industry. Meanwhile, the shipping capacity is still growing constantly compared with former years. In the 2^nd half of 2014, will there be a breakthrough in the domestic costal shipping market?

What radical changes has the terminal industry undergone, making the market status drop from nearly no vacancy to high rate of vacancy? To make a breakthrough, market players started to offer value-added services, while the frequent exposures of financing accidents recently again serve as a wake-up call to all the insiders. Facing the increasingly fierce competition, what measures can terminals take to strengthen themselves, and strive for sustainable and healthy development?
