WSB Advisors workshop

By Rafael Bortoloti

WSB Advisors hosted the fourth and final quarterly workshop of the year last Thursday, November 7. After two previous events for shipowners and a seminar, we’re closing the season by welcoming leaders from chartering companies to our office.

Our team—Alexandre Mattar Vilela, Raphael Montes, Joana Rodrigues, Pedro Pellegrini and Daniel Buckley—presented an overview of vessels in Brazil, including an analysis of current and projected daily charter rates for OSVs in the country and more.

In addition, guests discussed key industry topics such as vessel lifespans, flags, tonnage, and reviewed real market case studies.

Key points:

• History, present, and future of rates

• Market implications

• Brazilian legislation

•Contracts, bidding processes, new builds, circularization, and vessel blocks

• Green energy and the energy transition: more supply and more demand?

• Decommissioning and dismantling

• Ships types, aging, newbuilding demands
