# Maritime CEO Forum: Dry bulk owners eye generational rate rally - Splash247

> Shipowners at the Maritime CEO Forum in Monaco said dry bulk could be approaching a generational freight rate rally. They cited Guinea's bauxite boom and the Simandou iron ore ramp-up, which they expect to lift Simandou exports to as much as 65m tonnes next year. One owner put the capesize earnings floor near $30,000 a day.

## Why it matters

Stronger tonne-mile demand from new West African mineral flows could sustain higher ocean freight rates for bulk cargoes, raising landed costs for grain and feed ingredients. These views are forward-looking opinions from shipowners rather than confirmed market moves.
