Ratings agency Fitch Ratings has maintained its neutral outlook for shipping in 2022 despite strong bulker and container ship markets, and the prospect of a recovery for tankers.
The company has concerns over a "collapse" in demand due to the latest Covid-19 variant, Omicron, as well as a potentially slower than forecast global economic recovery.
Fitch was positive on bulkers, but said there was also some risk of falling boxship rates.
