Overall demand for container shipping is not as bad as one might think from looking at the freight rates. But for an industry that has grown by close to 10% p.a. over the past decade, it does take time to adjust and adjust to a demand growth half as strong.

In the past three months, time charter rates have hovered around the same levels, providing owners with a steady market despite the downward shift in spot freight rates. Summer demand should determine the next turning point, with initial indicators suggesting weaker East/West volumes, but stronger North/South trade. Moreover, increased flows on the Middle East and intra-Asia trades should drive rates for small containerships higher, as idle capacity is now removed and orderbook in this segment is low.
