MGT 623 Ocean Carriers Case Study 1) Do you expect daily spot hire rates to increase or decrease next year? According to the Case description‚ Exhibit 3 showed order booking and delivery schedule for bulk capsizes for coming years from 2001 to 2004. It was larger than the number of current fleet size in Exhibit 2. Thus‚ the spot hire rates would likely to decrease since capsizes are available. 2) What factors drive average daily hire rates?

Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth’s oceans‚ caused by carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ Seawater is slightly basic (meaning pH > 7)‚ and the process is a shift towards pH-neutral conditions rather than a transition to acidic conditions (pH < 7). Ocean alkalinity is not changed by the process‚ or may increase over long time periods due to carbonate dissolution. An estimated 30–40% of the carbon dioxide from human activity released into the atmosphere dissolves into
