EFFECTS OF GLOBAL SHIPPING MARKET DYNAMICS ON ICELANDIC CUSTOMERS
CASE STUDY – COST OF 40 FEED CONTAINER FROM SHANGHAI TO REYKJAVIK
| • | The global shipping market freight rates are characterized by significantly higher volatility than freight rates in Eimskip's home market in the North Atlantic |
\$US/40ft container 16,000 |
|---|---|---|
| • The Drewry World Container Index, which tracks changes in container spot rates across eight major trade lanes, has fluctuated tremendously in the last two years |
14,000 12,000 |
|
| • | Eimskip, on behalf of its customers, is a large buyer of ocean freight from third party deep sea carriers and thus Eimskip and our customers are impacted by changes in global freight rates |
10,000 8,000 6,000 |
| • This has an affect on both Eimskip's revenue and cost of third-party transportation services, and the overall logistic costs of our customers |
4,000 2,000 |
|
| • | In this case study Eimskip provided the transportation service for a specific import customer from Shanghai China to Reykjavík |
0 |
| • The transport from Shanghai to Rotterdam was carried out by a third party deep sea carrier while the transport from Rotterdam to Reykjavík was transported by Eimskip's container liner |
||
| • The graph on the right shows the overall cost development for this customer of transporting a 40 feet dry container from Shanghai to Reykjavik in December 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively |
||
| • While the transportation cost from Rotterdam to Reykjavik by Eimskip's container liner has changed marginally, the rate from Shanghai to Rotterdam with a third party deep sea carrier has at the same time fluctuated significantly and changed in line with global |
freight rates as can be seen on the Drewry index





Global freight rates fluctuated significantly during 2024 and were at a substantially higher level than 2023

DYNAMICS OF THE GLOBAL SHIPPING MARKET
Strong correlation between global freight rates and vessel charter rates
| HIGHLIGHTS | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| • | Eimskip strategically charters 6 out of 10 container vessels, ensuring flexibility in adjusting the sailing system and vessel capacity effectively to cater to demand and customers needs |
12,000 | ||
| • | There is a strong correlation between global freight rates and vessel charter rates albeit with some delay, as can bee seen on the graphs to the right |
10,000 8,000 |
||
| • A surge in global freight rates led to a subsequent increase in time charter rates for container vessels in the years 2020 to 2022. Typical fixture periods, which traditionally ranged from 3-6 months, increased up to three years during this period |
6,000 4,000 |

| • Despite substantially lower global freight rates and time charter rates since the beginning of 2023 compared to the "Covid period" the rates remain at an elevated level compared to pre-2020 |

| Generally positive outlook in reefer liner services in Norway with expectations of good export of frozen salmon and frozen fish & pelagic products. The quota for snow crab increased which will have positive effect on volumes |
