Container shipping in 2025 - the postponed apocalypse?
At this time last year many container shipping analysts were talking in apocalyptic terms about the market, and this year a similar narrative is emerging.
That's the verdict of an article on the Seatrade Maritime News website, which makes interesting reading for Davies Turner and the customers that use our portfolio of international ocean freight operations, which include LCL and FCL import and export operations.
Author Nick Saviddes writes that as with last year, market fundamentals point to a major collapse in freight rates as the equilibrium in the supply and demand equation is tilted firmly in favour of shippers, if one takes just a superficial glance at the figures.
However he adds that the forecasts of doom do come with the proviso that no unexpected and calamitous event disrupts the market again.
