Container charter market goes ‘from one extreme to the other’ as enquiries dry up

Box trade demand will finally surpass supply growth in 2020, says Danaos

Athens-based non-operating containership owner Danaos Corporation said today it expected container trade demand would surpass supply growth next year.
During its third-quarter results presentation, chief executive John Coustas was bullish on the sector’s outlook, attributing the improving prospects to a combination of low orderbooks and the indirect windfalls for shipowners from the IMO’s 0.5% sulphur cap on marine fuel that comes into effect on 1 January.
“We are aligned with the shipping …

Supply chain radar: Is the end near for Danaos Corporation?

On 28 November 2016, Danaos Corporation (DAC) received my full attention, as financial troubles mounted at Rickmers Maritime Trust (RMT), which then appeared to be the likely next casualty in the ocean shipping supply chain after the demise of Hanjin Shipping.
Look at the share price trends of DAC since I wondered whether a modern Greek tragedy was on its way.
Unfortunately, Rickmers didn’t make it – “the recent recovery in the containership …
