The information service Alphaliner says in its most recent newsletter that containership deliveries will total 1.28 million TEU this year.
It said as of mid October 154 ships with 1 million TEU capacity had been delivered.
Alphaliner said “non-deliveries” due to cancellations, deferrals and slippage amounted to 8.5 percent which it said was much lower than the 45 percent that some forecasters had projected.
