Cargo rates are at last determined by the level of capacity being deployed on each trade route and the cargo volume. The market structure of the worldwide compartment shipping industry has changed essentially.

Digitization is going to change the outlook of container shipping in coming years.More than 90% of the industry experts believe that real-time data access and information sharing was important to increasing the efficiency and performance of the shipping industry.

MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Asia-Europe trade lane is one of the busiest trade lanes both by volume and value. Exports from China account for more than 2/3rd of the trade, followed by South Korea, Vietnam, japan and Thailand.Offlate, the growth in exports in dry containers has remained more or less constant but reefer trade went up by 5% in 2016 and 3% in 2017. In 2017, Volumes on the China and South Korea to Europe expanded by ~5% in 2017.

The shipping rates have been in turmoil in Asia-Europe trade route for most of 2015-2017 period. In 2017 the average rate for 20 foot TEU on this route was $770 which was even ~10% and 5% lower than the average rate in 2016 and 2015 respectively. Chinese imports of beef, has seen an unprecedented rise in past one decade, reaching more than 0.85 million tonnes in 2017 – compared to less than 10,000 tonnes in 2017. Carriers are also benefiting by sharing resources, including port calls and networks and developing new services. Because of shipping industry consolidation, ocean rates have more than doubled on some lanes. For example, in June 2016, rates were at ~$600 for a 40-foot container vessel traveling between China and northern Europe; in June 2017 the rate for the 40 foot container shot upto ~$1,400.

Asia and Middle East have grown strength to strength in past decade or so. In 2010, China-Middle East trade was worth ~$148 billion. By 2015, it had risen by more than 60% and crossed $250 billion. China is now the largest exporter to MENA countries, while MENA accounts for more than 40% of China's crude oil imports. In 2017, China imported an average of 6.3 million barrels of crude oil per day. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, cumulatively contributed 50% in a total YOY increase in imports in 2017, which was largely driven by chemical products.


COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The shipping industry with few dominant players (top 10 companies account for more than 70% of global cargo transported via sea) is very competitive and subject to unpredictable highs and low. Danish container shipping company, Maersk Group, despite its falling revenue year-to-year, holds the top slot in world with close to 16% share of the cargo transported through sea. In such a volatile industry, ports and shipping companies are struggling to stay competitive in terms of cost and services without compromising shipping standards. Ports are fighting to attract shipping lines and offer efficient services and better facilities.

To stay ahead in the competition, container ships in seaborne trade have significantly risen their capacity. Another issue grappling the container shipping industry is the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) mandate, put in force by International Maritime Organization (IMO), which requires vessel operators to load only those packed containers with Verified Gross Mass (VGM) declared by the shipper. This enforcement has become applicable globally, affecting all ocean transportation.
