Take a look at
any shipping futures index.
Oil could be free, and an empty freighter won't make money. A laden freighter with low yield won't make money even with cheap oil. Unless the world economy does a really quick U-turn, there'll be a lot of freighters out of work.

A large chunk of the freighter and charter flying in them is govt work. How does that play into shipping futures?
