of their tonnage under foreign flags. Third ranks China, with 160.9 million dwt (with a huge increase of +39.2%, according to data from ISL, although this increase may be due, to some extent, to the reclassification of part of the Hong Kong shipowners fleet) and 62.9% of their fleet under foreign flags. Germany descends from the third to the fourth place, with 131.0 million dwt (+4.4%) and 87.2% of its controlled tonnage under foreign flags. EU member countries (27) + Norway control, overall, 589.1 million dwt, 38.4% of world tonnage. The Spanish shipowners controlled fleet (according to data from LRF) loses 1 position and moves into 37th place, with 4.1 million dwt and a 1.4% increase. Greek owners control 22.4% of the world tanker fleet, followed by the Japanese with 11.8%. The bulk carrier segment is mainly controlled by Japanese owners (22.1%), followed by Greeks (20.3%) and Chinese

(16.7%) while the German shipowners control 35.3% of the containerships fleet. For 2013, the broker Platou forecasts that the world fleet will grow between 5 and 6%. In the tanker segment, deliveries will decrease as compared to 2012 and, although the average fleet age is very young, scrapping estimates rise again, so that the tanker fleet will grow by around 4%. For bulk carriers, Platou estimates that of the 81 million dwt scheduled for delivery in 2013, considering delays and cancellations, only 60 million dwt will materialize, so that the dry bulk fleet will grow by around 7%. Containerships fleet will also increase around 7%, taki ?????????????????????????????????QU??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????QU??((??()]????5??????????((0
