02 MARKET UPDATE

03 COMPANY OUTLOOK

DYNAMIC FREIGHT MARKET DEVELOPMENT

CONTAINER TRADE AND FREIGHT RATES

» Spot freight rates initially soared in winter 2023/2024 in response to the Houthi attacks.

  • » Rates sank in February and March as carriers and shippers adapted to "the new normal".
  • » Capacity shortages resulting from the additional demand, early peak season volumes and port congestions sent rates soaring again in April and May.

LIMITED VESSEL SUPPLY PUSHES CHARTER RATES & PERIODS

CHARTER RATES AND SECONDHAND PRICES

  • » Time charter rates are well above initial expectations. Spot markets for larger sizes are virtually empty. Idle units are at 181k TEU (0.6%), with Alphaliner describing the fleet as "fully employed".
  • » Secondhand prices followed this trend. Transactions and prices are well above the previous quarters' levels.

CHARTER PERIODS ARE INCREASING AGAIN

Months

  • » Fixture durations are increasing, and sentiment is very positive.
  • » Eco 1,700 TEU ships are securing 12-month charters. In the segment of 2,000-3,000 TEU, periods of 24-months are being established. Above 3,000 TEU, two-year durations are already the norm and will most likely remain due to the limited supply in these sizes.

RED SEA DISRUPTIONS CONTINUE TO DRIVE DEMAND

DIVERSION AROUND THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

HOUTHIS FLIP MARKET BALANCE

IMPACT OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE DIVERSIONS

  • » Suez Canal transits: -90% reduction in container ships since December 2023.
  • » Re-routing via COGH: ~ 660 container ships as of mid May (10% of the global containership fleet) up from only 23 vessels at the beginning of December 2023.
  • » Vessel speeds: +5% for container ships +17k TEU since mid December.
