"We intend to continue ordering new ships consistently over the next years with a minimum target of at least 20 ultramax vessels," Shaikh said.

He says that while prospects in the Gulf region are bright due to their growth rate, internationally he feels there are still some years of pain before the eventual gain in the bulk carrier sector.
