PowerPoint Design Brief

This is required for a talk that needs to cover the following matters

the difference between small, handysize, handymax, panamax, capesize, and very large bulk carriers, how the trade differs, self loading/unloading etc as an intro to the dry bulk trade and what's currently driving the bulk shipping markets.

The below is an initial breakdown on the slides but not finalised

There will need to be an additional slide on the importance of China for the dry bulk trades

Slide 1: Introduction
