Here are the key trends taking shape in global ocean freight:
1. Global freight rates reduced drastically, to more sustainable levels, but remain significantly above pre-covid levels
2. Low demand and large influx of new tonnage/capacity (mid-2023) will continue to put downward pressure on rates
3. To counter, Carriers may resort to rationalise services, slow-steam, or postpone new tonnage/capacity deployment
4. Port and landside operations in key regions impacted by industrial strikes and labour shortages
5. 2023-24 contract negotiation heading to a mixed model arrangement
