Investment Rating - The report maintains an "Overweight" rating for the shipping industry, consistent with the previous rating [2][11].

Summary by Sections Market Conditions - In 2024, the shipping market has rebounded, with freight rates soaring in the first half of the year.

For instance, COSCO Shipping Holdings reported a net profit of 21.3 billion yuan in Q3 2024 [3]. - Recent freight rate rebounds, particularly a 26% increase in European routes over two weeks, are attributed to shipping companies' efforts to maintain pricing [3].
