Lars Eide's questions to Seanergy Maritime Holdings (SHIP) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Lars Eide asked which geopolitical and economic developments, such as China's GDP targets or potential US policy changes, the company is monitoring most closely and expects to have the biggest impact.
Answer
Executive Stamatios Tsantanis responded that the company's primary focus is on the fundamentals of supply and demand. He emphasized that demand for raw materials has remained very strong, and the recent market weakness was driven by an effective supply increase from smaller vessels, not a drop in demand. He views a full-blown trade war as a low probability but believes the inertia of global GDP growth will support strong demand for raw materials going forward.
