Seaborne Trade Back To 12 Billion Tonnes

According to Clarksons, global seaborne trade volumes are estimated to have rebounded to 12 billion tonnes in 2021, regaining 2019 ‘pre-Covid’ levels, and playing a key role in driving the shipping markets’ remarkable performance.

In 2022, iron ore trade could reach same level as 2021 at 1.53 billion tonnes, coal trade could increase 2% to 1.26 billion tonnes, and grain trade could increase 3% to 540 million tonnes.
