CONTAINER SHIPPING TRENDS ARE DIRECTLY INFLUENCED BY GLOBAL TRADE

GDP GROWTH & GLOBAL CONTAINER SEABORNE TRADE

» Global seaborne container trade grew by ~6% in 2024, indicating strong underlying container trade growth in terms of TEU.

» Global GDP growth is projected at 3.3% in both 2025 and 2026, below the historical average of 3.7%.

GLOBAL AND INTRA-REGIONAL SUPPLY/DEMAND DEVELOPMENT

» Based on MSI's forecast, the overall markets could ease in 2025/2026: MSI forecasts the global containership fleet – accounting for orderbook cancellations, slippage, deliveries and demolitions - to see a net fleet growth of 6.2% in 2025 and 3.2% in 2026, whereas container trade demand is expected by 3.6% in 2025 and 2.1% in 2026.

» For the intra-regional markets, the supply-/demand-relationship forecast by MSI looks better as there could be fleet stagnation while demand is expected to grow at rates of around 3.4% in 2025 and 2026. This can however not be taken as a guarantee for better earnings of the smaller segments, as container shipping markets are to some extent interconnected and TC-rates of smaller and larger container ships tend to follow identical trends.

AGEING FLEET AND LOW ORDERBOOK IN MPCC SEGMENT

AGE STRUCTURE OF FLEET AND ORDERBOOK BY NUMBER OF VESSELS

» In the segments from 1,000 TEU to 8,000 TEU, an orderbook of 137 vessels is facing an ageing fleet of 891 units that are already older than 20 years.

» The orderbook-to-fleet ratios in the segments from 1,000 TEU to 8,000 TEU are relatively low and the share of the fleet that is older than 20 years is relatively high at the same time and thus offers considerable potential for fleet modernization

CHARTER MARKETS HOLD STEADY AMID GROWING UNCERTAINTIES

FORWARD AVAILABILITY DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY DURING 2024

» The substantial drawdown of open positions has help charter rates to remain healthy. Even after the election of US president Trump, charterers tried to secure vessels well in advance. As a result, forward fixing increased in Q4 2024 and help up in 2025 so far.

CHARTER PERIODS STILL INCREASE

Months

• » The average duration of fixtures for vessels below 5.1k TEU increased to an average of 17.2 months. This is a year-over-year increase of 119%. However, due to the low availability of units the market was relative thin.
• » The non-operating owners' fleet can still be deemed fully employed based on the very low count of idle vessels.

STRONG SECONDHAND DEMAND AND EVEN STRONGER CHARTER RATES

SECONDHAND PRICES AND TIME-CHARTER RATES

» The timecharter market remained robust throughout Q4 2024 and 2025 so far, with strong charter rates due to low vessel availability and positive sentiment.

» Secondhand sales recorded the third strongest year on record, with a total of 291 vessels and 1.0m TEU sold throughout the year. Despite a seasonal slowdown, there is continued buying interest, particularly from Chinese buyers focused on older feeder vessels and younger "eco" tonnage. The market faces a tight supply of charter-free tonnage, especially for the first half of 2025.

2025 MARKET OUTLOOK MARKET OVERVIEW

KEY TOPIC	DESCRIPTION
Red Sea	» A potential return to the Red Sea could reduce average transport distances by ~12%, triggering reduced weekly cargo demand while networks are re arranged. » Continuously bypassing the Red Sea maintains the 12% TEU-mile boost
	» Generally, trade tensions create investment uncertainties, impacting future trade growth. At the same time, escalating US tariffs could reorganize supply chains and strengthen trade among US partners, potentially neutralizing total container trade impact. So far, developments have been volatile, and Trump has moved back and forth, announcing and then delaying or revoking tariffs in many cases.
US Tariffs / Trade Barriers	» Suggested million USD fees for Chinese built/operated vessels calling in US ports will be distributed across several hundred/thousands of TEU per port call and thus not render trade commercially unprofitable (as was demonstrated by US record container import volumes at record freight rates in 2024). If implemented, niche operators servicing US ports with Chinese built ships, could be willing to pay premiums for charter rates and asset values for South Korean/Japanese container vessels. This would affect a neglible fraction of the market though.
Inventories	» Stabilized supply chains and tariffs may reduce inventories and cargo demand » Rising insecurities and tariff escalations could keep inventories high
Port Congestions	» Easing port congestion could free up vessel capacity » Potential Red Sea return might maintain port congestion challenges
Fleet Development Supply / Demand	» Orderbook-to-fleet ratio at 27% with 1.8m TEU planned for 2025 delivery » MSI expects supply growth to exceed demand growth by 2.6% in 2025 and 1.1% in 2026, indicating market easing » The largest vessels dominate the orderbook; significant potential for modernization below 8,000 TEU
