Constantly changing trade patterns, but Asia will remain key trading area
} Over the past 20 years seaborne trade patterns changed significantly
} Dry bulk seaborne traded volumes increased by 400%+ in 20 years
} Urbanisation & industrialisation (China, India) will provide solid base
} Agribulk trade patterns will remain volatile
} Centre of global coal trade will be in the pacific (share of 75% in 2020)
} Huge investments will keep Australia on No.1 in iron ore output
