Deliveries of Containerships Will Boom To a Peak

2013-03-08

According to a report from Alphaliner, deliveries of containerships will boom to a peak this year. Some liner companies are going to postpone the newbuilding orders.

Recently, a total of 0.2 million TEU which was planned to be delivered this year has been postponed to next year. On the other side, capacity demolition is also growing due to the market downturn. 80000 TEU has been scrapped from January to February, and another 20000 TEU is going to be scrapped in March. It is predicted by Alphaliner that, if the speed of scrapping keeps on, the net increase of containership capacity will climb by 7% this year.
