Clarksons Research is increasingly worried about the prospects for boxships and car carriers as the coronavirus pandemic begins to shut down European economies.
The company, which is the research arm of broker Clarksons, said concerns for the sectors have "deepened" in recent weeks, and it is also pessimistic for offshore support vessels and the stalled cruiseship market.
Managing director Stephen Gordon said in the company's latest market survey that the coronavirus is "creating wide-ranging operational disruption and a major demand shock".
