Impressive transatlantic growth for US imports, but outlook not so bullish - The Loadstar
▻https://theloadstar.co.uk/impressive-transatlantic-growth-us-imports-outlook-not-bullish

Container exports from North Europe to North America increased 5.7%, year-on-year, in the first five months of the year, but Drewry is “sceptical” that this growth can be maintained for the full year.

Data from PIERS and Container Trade Statistics (CTS) shows US imports from Europe up 4.9% in the period to 890,000 teu, while Canadian imports flatlined at some 260,000 teu, with volumes to Mexico surged by 20% to about 180,000 teu.

Containerships ’Full to the Gunnels’ on Asia-North Europe Route as Rates Hit 20-Month High – gCaptain

Containerships sailing from Asia to North Europe are running “full to the gunnels” ahead of the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday this month, causing a spike in spot rates and a rollover of lower-rated contract cargo.

UK NVOCC Westbound Shipping Services said today that, in the present climate, the lowest-rate contracts “are worthless” as a guarantee of shipment on board.

Headquartered at DP World London Gateway, Westbound claims container lines will either admit the rates are too low and refuse the booking, or accept and “accidently” leave the boxes behind until the next vessel has space – which at this rate is likely to be after CNY.

This time lapse footage was made while I worked on a containership the MV Carat going around the Baltic Sea and North Europe. During the trip we went from Riga, Latvia to Tallinn, Estonia to Klaipeda, Lithuania, Gdynia, Poland, then to the other side of Europe through the Kiel Canal to Hamburg and Bremerhaven, Germany. This was a very fast paced environment, sometimes as little as eight hours sailing between ports and many berth shifts while loading and unloading cargo. Note the precise shiphandling while maneuvering the ship and without any assistance of the tug boats. Over 15,000 photos were used to put this video together, all summed up in five minutes. Enjoy!

Low Bunker Prices Offer Relief for Containership Operators, But Slow-Steaming Benefits Lost - gCaptain

Autres conséquences du faible prix du carburant,
• il va devenir plus économique de réduire les flottes marchandes (conteneurs) en réaugmentant la vitesse
• les maxi porte-conteneurs perdent leur avantage économique

Bunker prices are at a level not seen since the early 2000s, noted Drewry today, but given the way that carriers responded to rising fuel costs which spiked at more than $600 per tonne in 2007 and 2008 – by introducing slow- and super-slow steaming, thus requiring more vessels on their networks – the consultant queried the impact of fuel in the $100-$150 per tonne range on the strategic planning of container lines.

Using a typical Asia-North Europe loop incorporating vessel, bunker, port and canal costs as a model, Drewry calculated the respective slot costs versus number of vessels deployed at bunker prices of $600, $300 and $100 per tonne, operated by 11, 10 and nine vessels respectively.

Cutting the number of ships on a loop to the pre slow-steaming era of nine vessels, average service speeds for both the headhaul and back haul routes would need to be increased to 22 knots, according to Drewry’s calculation.
[…]
A separate Drewry ship system model – comparing economies of scale between various size ships – showed the slump in fuel prices had significantly narrowed the cost advantage gap between ship sizes.

Interestingly, the chart shows that, at today’s bunker prices, there is hardly any unit cost benefit for a carrier operating a 14,000 teu ship compared with an 18,000 teu vessel – and of course the larger ship still needs to be filled.

His two extraordinary volumes of memoirs – Palimpsest (1995) and its sequel Point To Point Navigation, published in 2006 – recall friendships with Eleanor Roosevelt, Princess Margaret and Leonard Bernstein. He was close to John Kennedy and closer still to Jackie, a relative by marriage. “It is always a delicate matter,” he once wrote, “when a friend or acquaintance becomes president.” ("Oh we know, we know," sigh his millions of readers.)

Al Gore

Gore was born in Washington, D.C., the second of two children of Albert Gore, Sr., a U.S. Representative who later served as a U.S. Senator from Tennessee, and Pauline (LaFon) Gore, one of the first women to graduate from Vanderbilt University Law School.[14] Gore is partly descended from Scots-Irish immigrants who first settled in Virginia in the mid-17th-century, and moved to Tennessee after the Revolutionary War.
