Shipping stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is maritime transportation and related services—such as container, bulk and tanker carriers, shipowners, ports, shipbuilders and marine logistics providers. Investors view them as cyclical plays because revenues and share prices closely track global trade volumes, freight and charter rates, fuel costs and shipping-cycle dynamics, making them sensitive to macroeconomic swings and regulatory changes.
