- Company Outlook
GLOBAL ECONOMY RECOVERS SLOWLY, BUT DOWNSIDE RISKS REMAIN
CARGO VOLUMES AND FREIGHT RATES
GLOBAL ECONOMY
- » Inflation & Interest Rates: Energy and food inflation declining, core inflation sticky and above central banks' target rates. Labor markets still tight in several advanced economies. Central banks further increased interest rates albeit with hints of a reduced pace.
- » GDP Growth: IMF slightly revised GDP growth forecasts upward to 3.0% in 2023 (+0.2 pp) and 3.0% in 2024 (unchanged from April forecast).
- » Regionalization: Relative loss of China's share of global container trade. Result: Regionalization (China-plus-one strategy and RCEP1) with a wider range of individual export partners.
- » Intra-regional trades: Relatively strong demand growth expected due to higher interconnectivity to the benefit of other ASEAN countries and India (supply chain diversification of export partners). Transhipment hubs (e.g., Singapore) could benefit.

OVERSUPPLY EXPECTED FOR TOTAL MARKET WHILST INTRA-REGIONAL DYNAMICS APPEAR MORE FAVORABLE
Data Source: MSI (July 2023) 1 Forecast data
FAVOURABLE ORDERBOOK-RATIOS & SCRAPPING POTENTIALS IN SMALLER SIZES
- » Our segments have a very favourable combination of low ordering and substantial scrapping potentials
- » The retrofit investment case looks more promising for larger units, whereas for units below ~ 1,500 TEU, the potential savings of emissions / fuel cost will likely not justify the investment
MPC Container Ships | | Q2 2023 Earnings Presentation 13
Data Source: Clarksons, July 2023.
GLOBAL SHIPYARD CAPACITY REMAINS MAXED OUT IN THE SHORT TERM
- » Slippage is expected as yards struggle to keep up with their promises
- » The growth in intra-regional trades is expected to benefit our overall fleet profile in general and our increasingly modernized units in particular
- » In the short term, increasing the orderbook for feeder units is deemed impossible due to both the high forward utilization of yards and nearly prohibitive prices
ROBUST MID-TERM OUTLOOK FOR INTRA-REGIONAL TRADES
ORDERBOOK TO FLEET RATIO AND VESSEL AGE ACROSS SIZE SEGMENTS WILDCARD FACTORS INFLUENCING THE OUTLOOK
- » Favorable demand outlook for intra-regional trades (4.9% CAGR from 2022 2025)
-
» Favorable supply dynamics: relatively old fleet, low orderbook, manageable newbuild deliveries and negative net fleet growth prospect (0.2% CAGR 2022-2025)
-
» Environmental regulations: The decarbonization framework will become stricter, tightening supply further by making retrofits on some units impossible and implying even slower vessels speeds and yard downtime for the remaining units.
- » Globalization: Countries will continue to seek for resilience and redundancies in supply chains. This will hurt Chinese export growth. At the same time, other Asian economies are benefiting already from these developments, mitigating the overall impact on TEU-miles.
- » Cascading implied transshipment needs: Cascading will happen, but the larger vessels will find it increasingly difficult to call at all ports without constraints, requiring additional feeder services.
- » Intra-regional trades: The relative outperformance of intra-regional trades in connection with the subdued fleet growth is expected to keep modern, fuelefficient units in demand during the downturn.
- » Macroeconomics / Politics: For the U.S., monetary policy is expected to loosen ahead of the 2024 election – high debt and interest rates will continue to be felt by consumers and enterprises. China is trying to combat the economic slowdown. The Chinese government is expected to launch a substantial stimulus program: Interest rates have already been cut radically in mid-August.
