Classification of shipping finance
Shipping price derivatives are tools for the shipping industry, oil and steel industries related to shipping to avoid shipping price risks. There are three main products, namely shipping index futures/options, freight options and forward freight contracts. Among them, the forward freight contract (FFA) is a forward contract in which both parties to the shipping transaction agree to settle the freight price agreed in advance at some future time.
