I wrote this small piece 7-8 years ago after thinking about the shipping industry and studying it for years. Shipping as options trading When purchasing an options contract, you pay a premium. When you invest in a ship, you pay the purchasing price for that ship. When buying that ship you stand to benefit from an increase in freights and an increase in the price of your ship, so you basically have a call option on those two variables.
