The combined capacity of the liners controlling more than 1% of the global liner fleet grew by 10.3% last year, according to Alphaliner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, despite the carriers\u2019 relentless search for more tonnage in 2024, market demand remains strong, and the threat of overcapacity still hasn\u2019t surfaced, reflected in low vessel idling and charter availability.<\/p>\n

Alpahaliner noted that the charter market was short on tonnage above 3,000 teu, with vessels of 5,500 teu and above \u201cespecially limited until the summer\u201d.<\/p>\n

This low availability of vessels, it warned, had the potential to create further rises in charter rates.<\/p>\n

It also noted that\u00a0the commercially idle containership fleet ended the year \u201cwith a downtick\u201d from what was already a low number.\u00a0And over the past fortnight, Alphaliner again recorded \u201ca reduction in carrier-controlled vessel idling\u201d. In its latest survey, on 30 December, it recorded 58 ships, or 173,930 teu, as commercially idle.<\/p>\n

It reported: \u201cAt only 0.6% of the total cellular fleet, the liner sector can still be considered \u2018fully employed\u2019, and there is zero structural idling.\u201d<\/p>\n
