Trump stuns with a comfortable win: Last night Donald Trump won the US presidency, edging out Hillary Clinton in several swing states to secure at least 279 electoral college votes to Clinton's 218 (270 votes are needed to win; results of a few close contests are still being tallied this morning, but they won't change the outcome). Clinton actually won the popular vote by a small margin (estimated 47.6% vs Trump's 47.5% as of Wednesday morning in the US) but badly underperformed expectations in…</li></ul>

Organic Growth at China Merchants Port, Cosco Shipping Ports Remains Weak. Acquisitions? Expensive!

Strong supply growth on account of high vessel deliveriesscheduled in FY16/FY17 will continue to keep the LPG shipping market in imbalance. On the demand side, with lower price of LPG in Asia, the propane trade has been hurt, and there has been no major driver of incremental demand to absorb the excess tonnage available. Freight rates across segments have dropped in the recent past, and we do not expect a meaningful recovery over the next 12 months, even thoughthere could be a short-lived…
