Shipbuilding - International Stocks

Description:

"Shigeki Makino, manager of Putnam Global Equity Fund, is especially bullish about shipyards and shipping, although other investors have worried that the shipbuilding boom will pressure shipping rates. Yet the fund manager believes capacity growth has peaked in the shipping industry, even though new-tanker orders extend through 2009. "Maersk, the player that had pushed prices aggressively last year, has fuller ships this year and is being more disciplined, and demand growth remains strong," he says. As more countries grow richer, the number of routes is snapping higher, too."
