A recent report on the Seatrade Maritime News website will be interesting for anyone, like the U-Freight Group, that is involved in the international container shipping supply chain.

Quoting a number of analysts, including Xeneta, HSBC Global Research, and Sea-Intelligence present, the article paints a downbeat picture ahead for container shipping with overcapacity leaving carriers subsidising shippers on key routes.

The authors write that despite a spell of super-profits in the sector as the world economy took off again and terminal congestion eased after Covid, a huge volume of new capacity is being commissioned and many more ships are scheduled for delivery in the near-to-medium term.
