Together we’re shaping the future of logistics and transport
We will be discussing:
​
The Container Shipping industry has gone through what one could call some very extreme swings .. a peak higher than we’ve ever seen before and now a trough, the speed of which perhaps took many by surprise. Rate levels that were near 3 times of 2019 rates, and now, down to pre-pandemic levels and lower; the prospect of a building orderbook; along with, as some market commentators say, an impending recession and forecasted demand shortfall. All these could make for some rather tough times in the coming months.
On a positive note, liners have enter this environment with perhaps the strongest balance sheets we’ve seen in over a decade. Most saw record profits and a robust war chest. Quite a few have invested heavily in developing focused services and infrastructure that bring them closer to their customers than ever before.
Key Takeaways:
-
How does this change things and will this help break the cycle of booms and busts that have become so regular for the industry.
-
What are some of the other products and services that liners offer.
-
What will help liners balance out their returns in the short term, while broadening their service profiles.
