THERE are currently 76 containerships of 15,000+ TEU worldwide for a total capacity of 1.4 million TEU, representing an increase of 29 per cent compared to May 2016, as measured in TEU terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/strong>Deployed solely on the Asia-Europe trades, they account for 36 per cent of capacity on the route, up from 27 per cent a year earlier.<\/p>\n

The rising proportion of 8,000-12,000 TEU vessels deployed on the transpacific trades is partly due to the displacement of the 15,000 TEU ships from the Far East-Europe route, as well as to new deployment opportunities on the Asia-US east coast owing to passage via the expanded Panama Canal.<\/p>\n

In May, 8,000-12,000 TEU ships accounted for 54 per cent of total capacity deployed on transpacific trade lanes, whereas the 3,000-8,000 TEU sector accounted for 32 per cent, according to research by Clarksons.<\/p>\n

„From around mid-2016, the ‘cascade’ of larger units onto transpacific routes has also been supported by firm trade growth. Enhancements to US east coast port capability to handle larger ‘Neo-Panamax’ units have been ongoing, supporting cascading of larger ships into the Far East-US east coast route, now including ships of 12,000+ TEU,“ Clarksons said.<\/p>\n

On north-south routes in May, the 8,000-12,000 TEU sector accounted for 32 per cent of deployed capacity, up from 29 per cent a year earlier, while the proportion of 3,000-8,000 TEU capacity dropped from 53 per cent to 49 per cent.<\/p>\n

Further down the size hierarchy, deployment of 3,000+ TEU vessels on intra-regional routes has remained relatively steady at 30 per cent, while the intra-Asian trades recorded robust growth throughout 2016 and Q1 2017.<\/p>\n

Although there remain some additional opportunities for larger vessels on these routes, these appear to be diminishing over time on the back of port capability limitations, added Clarksons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,50],"tags":[43,47],"class_list":["post-1204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-ttl-bulgaria","category-ttl-bulgaria-global-shipping-update","tag-14k-teus-vessels-economy-scale","tag-global-container-market"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1204"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1222,"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1204\/revisions\/1222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bg.ttlog.eu\/bg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
