Charterers in a bullish mood
Their confidence in the shipping market hits a 6-year high

At least, that is a broad brush interpretation of the latest Shipping Confidence Survey from international accountant and shipping adviser Moore Stephens. Overall confidence levels in the shipping industry fell slightly in the three months to August but are still higher than a year ago.
However, confidence among charterers, the companies that "rent" ships from owners to carry cargo, actually reached a six-year high.
