03 COMPANY OUTLOOK
MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK IMPROVED BUT BELOW AVERAGE
2.8 -2.8 6.3 3.2 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Percent 3.2 3.8 3.6 3.5 3.1 3.1 World GDP Growth 2000-19 Avg. GDP Growth Ø 3.8
GDP GROWTH & MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK
- » Global GDP growth: revised upwards for 2023 and 2024 based on stronger than expected US economy as well as benefits expected from Chinese stimulus.
- » Macroeconomic outlook: high interest rates and high debt expected to weigh on growth prospects.
WORLD TRADE & CONSUMER PRICES
- » World trade: expected to revive after weak 2023 but held back by trade distortions and geoeconomic fragmentation.
- » Global inflation: falling faster than expected but not expected to return to target until 2025 for most countries.
FREIGHT RATES AND CHARTER RATES EXPERIENCED AND UPWARD TREND
- » The usual uptick in spot freight rates, that seasonally happens in December and January before the Chinese New Year (CNY), turned out to be huge this year driven by the ongoing Red Sea disruptions.
- » Long-term contract rates do not show such a strong response yet. Negotiations rather slow. Shippers reluctant to commit to long-term rates due to insecurity about ongoing Red Sea crisis.
CONTAINER TRADE AND FREIGHT RATES CHARTER RATES AND SECOND-HAND PRICES
- » Time-charter rates: followed the upward trend of freight markets and increased by 30% since the beginning of the year.
- » Charter durations: increased from an average of 5 -6 months in the fourth quarter to an average of 8 months in February 2024.
- » Recently, asset prices follow the upward trend.
MARKET FUNDAMENTALS CANNOT EXPLAIN THE RATE SITUATION
DEMAND/SUPPLY DEVELOPMENT TOTAL MARKET
- » Total demand growth is expected to recover from 2024 onwards, but this is offset by a relatively strong total supply growth.
- » Houthi attacks (not yet incorporated in the above market balance) could upset market fundamentals.
FLEET EXPANSION HEAVILY SKEWED TOWARDS LARGER SEGMENTS
% (OB/fleet)
» Fleet growth is expected to be weighted toward the larger fleet segments where the orderbook is relatively large and demolition prospects are more limited compared to the smaller and older fleet segments.
RED SEA CRISIS – HOUTHI ATTACKS DRIVE TEU-MILE DEMAND
DIVERSION AROUND THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE
SUEZ CANAL CONTAINERSHIP TRANSITS (OCT 23 – FEB 24)
- » Additional TEU mile demand: +8.6% for containerships globally
- » Freight rates: SCFI +114% from Dec '23 to Feb '24
- » Charter rates: HARPEX +38% from Dec '23 to Feb '24 Premiums are being paid for vessels willing to sail through the Red Sea Area
- » Asset Prices: 15 y/o Secondhand Prices +7%
