New Alphaliner data highlights the enormity of new container shipping capacity that’s poised for delivery.

Two container shipping experts give their take on how the hangover after the pandemic boom could play out.

The Baltic Dry Index has fallen 91% since October 2021 to one of its lowest levels ever, yet shipowners remain confident.

Los Angeles continues to face a double whammy of sinking demand and fears over the port labor contract that expired in July.

Ocean carrier revenues fell sharply in the fourth quarter versus the third and continued sinking in January.

Sanctions have split the world’s tanker fleet in two. On one side, those that follow Western rules; on the other, those that don’t.

After a bounce in January, containerized imports could drop this month to the lowest level since May 2020.

Ocean carrier Maersk sees a rough second half of the year, when remaining support from contract rates “will disappear.”

The reversion in spot rates is pulling down contract rates, with a significantly delayed effect on ocean carrier earnings.

The tanker industry has a storied history of corporate showdowns. The latest, a three-way tussle involving Euronav, looks far from over.

The 2M partnership between MSC and Maersk — which is breaking up — is the smallest of the three alliances. The Ocean Alliance is much larger.

Container shipping rates from Europe to the U.S. are finally falling, but they’re still exceptionally high.

Russian crude restrictions are having the predicted effect on tanker trades, soaking up more vessel capacity as sailing distance lengthens.

Speculation is swirling on how the end of a global container shipping alliance will affect ocean carriers and cargo shippers.

Shipping services around the globe will be reconfigured after the top two carriers end their vessel-sharing agreement.

Are falling commodity shipping spot rates the result of normal seasonality or a symptom of global economic malaise?

American imports remain a tale of two coasts, with continued strength in container volumes headed to Atlantic ports.

Imports continue to decline and are close to where they were before COVID-19, but the coastal mix is very different.

Sanctions on Russian crude exports have yet to boost tanker rates. Some question whether sanctions on Russian diesel will either.

Remaining queues of waiting ships are dwindling, another sign that supply chain pressure is winding down.
