THE NEW ALLIANCE STRUCTURE CAN BENEFIT FEEDER TONNAGE PROVIDERS

Current Alliance Structure 2025 Alliance Structure

Cooperations that MSC incurs

  • I. Zim will have a three-year vessel sharing agreement (VSA) and slot swap agreement together with MSC on their Asia-US East Cost / US Gulf trades (covering 6 services), scheduled to be launched in February 2025.
  • II. In the rebranded Premier Alliance, MSC becomes a partner from February 2025 onwards to cover Asia to North Europe / Mediterranean trades via slot sharing agreements.

Gemini publishes a second draft network plan including

  • I. Alt. 1: Cape of Good Hope Routing (341 Vessels)
  • II. Alt. 2: Suez Routing (300 Vessels)

Ocean Alliance Members (CMA CGM, COSCO and Evergreen)

Have not published any changes to their existing alliance network. Their cooperation remains unchanged.

Standalone Approach

MSC follows a stand-alone approach but forms of cooperations were announced recently

CONTAINER SHIPPING TRENDS ARE DIRECTLY INFLUENCED BY GLOBAL TRADE

  • » Global container seaborne trade is expected to increase by 5.2% this year, following an early peak season for trade and overall improving underlying trends in the segment.
  • » GDP growth for 2024 is expected to meet earlier forecasts, while services inflation complicates monetary policy, potentially leading to prolonged higher interest rates.

» TEU-mile demand is projected to rise by 16.9% in 2024, primarily driven by the rerouting of vessels away from the Red Sea, which will be the key factor shaping near-term demand trends.

IMPACT OF THE RED SEA DISRUPTION ON CONTAINER SHIPPING- AND FEEDER DEMAND

IMPACT OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE DIVERSIONS CAPE OF GOOD HOPE REROUTING

What is the impact on the container shipping market?

  • » The Red Sea situation is adding 17% TEU-mile growth assuming that Suez Canal transits will not be possible for the rest of 2024. This contrasts with a fleet growth forecast of ~12% for full year 2024.
  • » Hence, the Red Sea situation indeed is still the main driver of supply/demand to be more balanced than the market would be without the current situation
  • » Containership Gulf of Aden arrivals remained very limited (down 89%), in line with the trend seen since the start 2024.

What is the impact on the feeder market?

  • » Red Sea diversions continue to provide underlying support to container shipping markets with rates remaining at historically elevated levels.
  • » The charter market also benefited from increased demand for charter tonnage across all size segments. Charter rates for feeder vessels increased by 130% from January to August 2024 and charter durations increased from 7 months (avg. in January) to 14 month on average in August.

What are the expectations going forward?

» It remains to be seen whether we have already reached the peak of spot freight rates due to the early peak season that usually takes place in Q3. Spot container rates are declining, but they are not falling off a cliff. A potential wildcard factor could be the ILA strikes at USEC and Gulf ports that might take place at the beginning of October.

How has the situation impacted MPCC?

» The overall elevated charter market since the start of the year has impacted MPCC in a positive way. Operationally, some vessel were affected by trading in the Red Sea area.

SHIPPING SECTORS CURRENT DEMAND UPLIFT DUE TO REROUTING

CONTAINER SHIPS CRUDE TANKERS PRODUCT TANKERS BULK CARRIERS
+12% +1% +4.8% +1.2%
TEU-miles Tonne-miles Tonne-miles Tonne-miles

GLOBAL AND INTRA-REGIONAL DEMAND DEVELOPMENT

  • » The market will remain under pressure at least until 2025. MSI forecasts the global containership fleet accounting for orderbook cancellations, slippage, deliveries and demolitions to see a net fleet growth of 9.6% (an increase of 1.1 percentage points from the last update in May) in 2024 and 5.4% (an increase of 0.8 percentage points from the last update in May) in 2025.
  • » In contrast, container trade demand is expected to return to health this year, but only grow by 4.5% (an upward revision of 0.5 percentage points from the last update in May) in 2024 and 3.8% (a downward revision of 0.3 percentage points from the last update in May) in 2025.
  • » Currently, longer shipping routes via the Cape of Good Hope are driving up demand for TEU-miles following the attacks in the Red Sea. An industry estimate by Clarksons' forecasts additional demand of 16.7% in terms of TEU-miles, assuming that the Red Sea crisis continues throughout 2024. This would bring the total demand growth to ~20%for 2024 and therefore help to explain the strong freight and charter markets.

» In the segments from 1,000 TEU to 8,000 TEU, an orderbook of 236 vessels is facing a rapidly ageing fleet of 899 units that are already 20 years or older.

SHIPBUILDING CYCLE TRENDING TOWARDS LARGER VESSELS

DELIVERIES AND ORDERBOOK SHIPYARDS ARE FULLY BOOKED THROUGH 2025/26 FOR LARGER VESSELS AS CONTAINERSHIP NEWBUILDING PRICES CONTINUE TO SOAR

» The shipbuilding cycle that started in 2023 is significantly skewed towards large and ultra-large container vessels

SPOT MARKET TIGHTENS WHILE PERIODS REACH HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE PANDEMIC

FORWARD AVAILABILITY DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY FIXTURE DURATIONS INCREASED DRASTICALLY

  • » Vessel availability declined over the course of Q2 2024.
  • » Vessels available in the upcoming six months are today 25% lower compared to January 2024.

  • » With fewer vessels coming open for charter, charterers decided to extend their current charter ships by forward fixing some of their contracts.
  • » Increasing charter durations and forward fixing are indicators for a strong charter market in Q2 2024.

STRONG TIMECHARTER AND SECONDHAND MARKET, DESPITE MACRO ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY

  • » Time charter rates and durations are significantly above initial expectations for 2024, even if the momentum of charter rates has slowed slightly in recent weeks. Charter rates have stabilized with subdued activity in many segments due to low availability and the summer period
  • » Secondhand market remains busy, and prices are up almost 30% year-to-date
