Freight rates in 2011 and the beginning of 2012 have often remained at unprofitable levels. Within the three segments - dry bulk, liquid bulk and containerized cargo - substantial freight rate drops have been reported. Vessel oversupply can be identified as a driving factor behind this development. The investment in large capacity ships within the tanker and the dry bulk segment accelerated competition as ship operators were willing to accept freight rates below or close to operating costs.
