๐Ÿ“Œ Context is King

Container shippingโ€™s recent profitability wasnโ€™t driven by stabilityโ€”it was built on disruption. After surviving pandemics and Red Sea detours, global shippers have enjoyed a bumpy yet profitable ride thanks to Donald Trumpโ€™s on-again, off-again tariffs.

But industry insiders warn: the wave wonโ€™t last. Frontloaded imports, excess vessel orders, and cooling demand all point toward an inevitable plunge. Even with temporary rate spikes, long-term overcapacity is already baked in.

๐Ÿง  In Focus

Despite recent spikes in freight rates, 2025โ€™s second half looks bleak. U.S. imports may fall, autumn peak season will soften, and high inventories mean fewer repeat shipments.

Behind the scenes, a dangerous backlog is building. Over 30% of global fleet capacity is tied up in new ship orders. With demand expected to grow just 2% annually (2025โ€“2027), and the Red Sea possibly reopening, rates are likely to plunge as overcapacity floods the market.
