Abstract: Abstract In Part III of the book we move from theory to practice. In this Chapter we analyse the market structure of shipping, the key players and basic facts related to earnings and asset values. The capital market structure of shipping is investigated in section 2. We then examine in Section 3 the role of finance in shaping shipping cycles. The constraints of shipping finance and its future prospects are analysed in section 4. It is argued that the availability of ship finance can have a significant impact on shipping cycles
