Samudera Shipping Line is looking to devote more resources into its drybulk shipping segment as it expects a rise in demand for drybulk commodities.

"Nevertheless, the group will continue to cautiously monitor market developments," the Masli Mulia-led company said.

Samudera said conditions in the container shipping sector have improved over the past year, but overall recovery has been slowed by intense competition due to consolidation among major owners.
