Tradeviews: West Africa ore exports may rise 50% by 2030
UK consultancy Tradeviews forecasts West African shipments will reach 303m tonnes by the end of the decade, 50% above 2025 levels.
Tradeviews expects West Africa to become a major growth engine for dry bulk shipping. Its forecast puts mineral exports from the region at 303m tonnes by 2030, up 50% from 2025 levels.
The increase could absorb the equivalent of another 120 Capesize vessels, according to the report excerpt. The supplied title links the ore boom to China’s growing VLOC fleet; further details were not included in the available text.
The figures are a forecast rather than a confirmed operational volume, and actual shipments may differ.
