Ο λόγος για την AP Moller-Maersk A/S και την Evergreen Marine, πλοίο της οποίας «φράκαρε» το 2021 στη Διώρυγα του Σουέζ, μπλοκάροντας ένα από τα πλέον πολυσύχναστα εμπορικά περάσματα.

More 2M transpac voyages ‘slide’ as vessels still queue at USWC ports

The 2M partners, Maersk and MSC, have cut two scheduled transpacific calls, but the two lines offer different reasons.
Maersk said today its TP6/MSC Pearl service would ‘slide’ by a week from its 1 February departure date ex-Asia, and the TP2/MSC Jaguar loop would also be delayed by a week from its advertised sailing of 14 February.
The Danish carrier said it was “in view of the accumulated schedule delays” in its …

Free for all sees rates blow indexes out of the water

Freight indexes have become divorced from the reality of the market according to consultant Jon Monroe, who says that no index accurately represents the rate a shipper needs to pay to ship a container to the US.

Ship operator profits increased from the middle of 2020 and have continued to grow into this year, with Yang Ming and HMM the latest lines to declare first quarter profits, and in HMM’s case, they represent historically high returns.

“Today’s environment is a free for all and it seems...

Insurers unimpressed with SCA’s public statements

Insurers of the impounded Ever Given vessel remained unconvinced by the public statements made by the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), which is claiming US$916 million for losses following the grounding and blockage of the waterway for six days in March.

The SCA filed a lawsuit making the claim for damages soon after the vessel was freed and has since impounded the ship in the Great Bitter Lake area of the canal until a settlement is reached with the Japanese vessel owner, Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd and...

Box losses don’t stack up. Part One

Container stack collapses have seen a spike in recent months with vessels losing a combined total of around 5,762 containers from five major incidents between November last year and February this year. The industry is looking to unravel the puzzle as to why large container ships have started to shed boxes at such an alarming rate.
