Profits surge for container shipping lines
The trade media is full of reports about how the container shipping industry has experienced a remarkable turnaround in the third quarter of 2024, with total net income soaring to USD26.8 billion, marking a staggering 164% increase from the previous quarter, according to renowned industry analyst John McCown.
With our comprehensive portfolio of international container shipping services for both LCL and FCL import and export cargoes, this made interesting reading for Davies Turner, as the article spotlights how that impressive growth trend, which began in the first quarter of 2024, has been primarily fuelled by capacity tightening in the Red Sea region and strong global demand.
In his Q3 financials report, McCown reports that compared to the same quarter last year, net income skyrocketed by 856%, representing a USD24.0 billion increase. This dramatic upswing follows a period of declining earnings that lasted for six consecutive quarters after the industry’s peak earnings of USD63.1 billion in Q2 2022.
