A few days ago the Baltic and International Maritime Council ( theBalticandInternational Maritime Conference, BIMCO ) released the report, up to now, 2012 container ship dismantling achieved 216000teu, and delivery of new vessels are already broke through 1000000 TEU to close greatly, suggesting that the fleet size growth rate reached 5.1%, report of the expected full-year container ship quantity increases is expected to be up to 7.2%. At the same time, clear BIMCO, transport power demand. It is still the most important problem of Container liner Company.

The report points out: " container fleet expansion rate is controllable, so that the industry of transport power demand is a headache. Shipping transport power of market demand gap is formed mainly in 2009, however the present volume growth remain stagnant also has greatly challenged the state of market supply and demand. "

The message says, from November 1st onwards, a new round of price adjustment will be performed again, in this context, container fleet scale breakthrough million facts somewhat ironic.

In the Far East to European routes, more than half of the carrier plans to raise the freight routes, price controls in 500/teu. However, in view of the recent route volume sharply and transport power supply demand relations of persistent imbalances, part of the operator full execution price contract of affreightment accounted for 1/4.

Paris shipping agency analysis forecast Alphaliner, far east to the European routes in 2012 the annual transport demand is expected to shrink by 4.2%. Despite the recent major shipping companies large scale withdrawal route capacity makes market week transport power gross compared to peak in September will drop about 7.6%, but this is still not sufficient to support the November 9 utilization rate of shipping weight to high.

Therefore, the company plans to raise up early next month to implement the freight plan will face the market severe test.
