Shipping stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is maritime transport or related services — for example container, bulk and tanker operators, shipowners, and some port and logistics firms. Investors view them as cyclical, freight-rate-sensitive plays whose returns depend heavily on global trade volumes, vessel supply/demand, fuel and regulatory costs, and geopolitical or seasonal disruptions. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Shipping stocks within the last several days.
