Retaking this ‘AA3’ rotation, keo nha cai 247 new ‘AP1’ will also call at Haiphong and turn in eight weeks. While Wan Hai Lines has confirmed keo nha cai 247 56- day fixed round trip schedule, keo nha cai 247 press release and keo nha cai 247 Vessel Sharing Agreement (VSA) which was filed with keo nha cai 247 Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) in Washington, clearly mention that Wan Hai Lines will provide five vessels and ONE two.

No weakness in sight for charter market
keo nha cai 247 container charter market remains on a rising trend with Non Operating Owners (NOOs) benefitting from continuously favorable winds.
Despite keo nha cai 247 Chinese New Year holiday in Asia last week, activity has barely dropped, with demand for most size of vessels remaining brisk across keo nha cai 247 board.
As keo nha cai 247 supply of prompt tonnage continues to be tight, especially for larger vessels (4,000 teu and above), charter rates are rising sharply in these sizes, with any new fixture typically concluded at much higher levels than last done deals. Owners meanwhile are trying to obtain keo nha cai 247 longest possible commitments from charterers, with mixed success though.
In keo nha cai 247 smaller sizes, particularly below 3,000 teu, charter rates also remain on a positive trend, but most of keo nha cai 247 gains are achieved on modern, energy-efficient tonnage, with carriers in some cases willing to pay very large premiums compared to more standard units.
keo nha cai 247 high activity in keo nha cai 247 market remains mostly driven by keo nha cai 247 consequences of keo nha cai 247 situation in keo nha cai 247 Red Sea, as well as high cargo volumes on some important routes. With a growing number of industry stakeholders banking on an extended period of disruptions in keo nha cai 247 Red Sea, NOOs can expect a continued strong market in keo nha cai 247 short term.

Further down keo nha cai 247 road, overcapacity remains keo nha cai 247 principal threat for 2024, with keo nha cai 247 influx of newbuilding tonnage showing no sign of easing.
Meanwhile on keo nha cai 247 cargo front, freight rates have been on their fourth week of decline on keo nha cai 247 Asia-Europe route and, as anticipated by Alphaliner, are now also dropping on keo nha cai 247 so far glittering transpacific.
Meanwhile, North-South trades are a mixed bag, with some routes performing better than others. Finally, oil prices have been going up again in keo nha cai 247 last days, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in keo nha cai 247 Middle East.
