Terrible business that is capital intensive. When the economy starts a recession again, they will take a severe hit as shipping will decrease a lot. They are barely making money and increasing right now because conditions have improved a bit. But the coming 2nd half and next year should bring a difficult environment for the shipping company.

Also, while diesel prices will drop a bit, it doesn't help that the fleet is going to be unable to operate at maximum capacity. Not only that, but the fixed costs means its going to cost them whether its in operation or not. The company is also a second tier company claiming to be a leading company. They even said it themselves in their 10k when they admit they are several points below their competitors operating percentage.
