Container shipping industry is facing a wave of capacity growth.

The container shipping industry is facing a new wave of capacity growth. Relevant data show that in 2025 at the earliest, the global container fleet capacity will exceed 30 million TEU mark.

Clarksons data show that in 2023 there will be 2 million TEU of new capacity into operation, 2024 will be put into the new 2.5 million TEU capacity, the preliminary estimate of 2025 will be increased by another 1.9 million TEU. Clarksons said that by the end of 2025, the fleet is expected to reach 30 million TEU, an increase of more than 30% over the beginning of 2020, an increase of 15% over the current level. 15% increase from current levels.

The surge in capacity stems mainly from the delivery of many large vessels. clarksons expects ships of 17,000 TEU and above to increase by 80% from the beginning of 2020, and by 16% this year alone. At the same time, however, some ship types may see a contraction in capacity as smaller, older ships are scrapped.

Hong Kong Convention not favored?

Indian and Bangladeshi beached shipbreaking yards have already claimed that they will comply with the Hong Kong Convention and have the support of shipowners. These yards are keen to get cheap disposal for their old ships for scrapping and have not considered the costs associated with the safe management of hazardous substances, including residual oil, asbestos, and mercury. These costs are ultimately borne by workers, local communities, and the fragile coastal environment.

The environmental organizations emphasized that the resulting harms included exposure to toxic substances, risks to life and health, impacts on livelihoods and biodiversity. It was further emphasized that instead of paying for the prevention of harm as well as compensation and mitigation, shipowners externalize such costs, making shipbreaking artificially cheap and thus also reducing the economic incentive to develop non-toxic materials at source.

From July 1, the sea freight charges rose again!

Although Yantian Port is making every effort to resume operations, congestion and delays at ports and terminals in South China as well as container availability problems will not be alleviated immediately, and their impacts are slowly extending to the destination ports. Port congestion, navigational delays, capacity imbalances (especially from Asia) and inland transportation delays, coupled with continued strong demand for imports from Europe and the US, will result in higher container freight rates.

The current state of freight rates in the market is that there is no maximum, only higher! A few shipping companies, including Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, COSCO Shipping, Matson, and Kambara Kisen, have announced a new round of fee hike notices starting after mid-June. Recently, the United States ranked the top three large-scale importer Home Depot (Home Depot) announced that in the current port congestion, shortage of containers and the epidemic dragged down the progress of the transportation of the extreme situation, will be rented a completely own cargo ship, 100% exclusively for the Home Depot, to alleviate the current supply chain problems.
