Our container market services include
the following:
-
Business environment; Oil price development and economic growth in the
key importing and exporting regions, the United States, OECD Europe, Japan and
Other Asia.
-
Container demand with focus on seaborne trade of containerised cargoes.
-
Based on the above assumptions and evaluations, we estimate total
seaborne trade of containers and total demand for container vessels measured in
TEU.
-
The supply side will be analysed through a study of ordering, deliveries
and scrapping of container vessels, measured in TEU.
-
Through a comparison between supply and demand, we will
estimate the future container tonnage balance, utilisation
rate, and utilise this to develop forecasts of container
freight rates with focus on Feedermax
(725 TEU), Handymax (1700 TEU), and Panamax (3500 TEU) size
carriers
