CONTAINER AND GENERAL CARGO FLEET DEVELOPMENT, SUPPLY/DEMAND PATTERNS AND
WORLD CONTAINER PORT DEVELOPMENT
As of January 1st, 2004, the fully cellular container fleet
stood at 3,036 ships with 90.2 mill dwt equal to 6.4
mill TEU total and the general cargo fleet comprised
16,487 ships with 95.2 mill dwt equal to 1.9 mill TEU.
Together these fleet segments had, in terms of dwt
tonnage, a share of 22.1 per cent of the total world
merchant fleet (ships of 300 gt and over). The world
merchant fleet had a total capacity of 8.6 mill TEU,
whereby at the beginning of 2004, 74.7 per cent of this
capacity was attributable to the fully cellular container

Tonnage supply 2004
In the period of 2000-2004, the TEU-capacity of the
world container fleet grew per year on average by
10.6 per cent, whereas the number of the container
vessels rose by 5.6 per cent and the deadweight
tonnage by 9.3 per cent.
During the year 2003, the fully cellular container fleet
grew by “just” 8.6 per cent (based on TEU). Compared
with 1994, the fully cellular container fleet has more
than doubled its TEU capacity (+ 215 %), whereby the
disproportionate increase of the TEU capacity indicates
the trend towards larger container ships.
fleet compared with TEU/shares of 48.8 per cent in
1989 and 67.6 per cent in 2000.
Besides supply and demand patterns the ISL market
analysis presents assumptions on future containerised
trade developments and includes information on
container traffic for the leading world ports. Included in
the SSMR issue is an extract of a new information
service - the “ISL Monthly Container Port Monitor”
(compare pages in the middle of this issue).
TEU in 1995. The post-Panamax fleet accounts for
286 vessels with a share of 25 per cent of the total
TEU capacity.
During 2003, 172 container ships were added to the
fleet with a capacity of 7.2 mill dwt and 0.57 mill TEU
respectively. Compared with previous years these new
entries had an extremely high average capacity,
namely 3,320 TEU. 26 fully cellular ships were in sizes
of 6,000 TEU and above (compared with 25 ships
during 2002 and 9 ships during 2000).

In the period of 1999-2003, 850 container ships with
32.4 mill dwt and 2.5 mill TEU were added to the
trading fleet. In the same period only 176 container
ships with 3.5 mill dwt were reported as broken-up.
The average ship size continued to increase during
2003 and stood at 2,126 TEU at the beginning of
2004 compared to 1,782 TEU in 2000 and 1,503
Ships added to the world container fleet during 2003
represent 5.7 per cent of all fully cellular container
ships, 7.9 per cent of the deadweight tonnage and 8.8
per cent of the TEU-capacity of the active container
fleet at the beginning of 2004.

Ships of 300 gt and over
ISL based on LR/Fairplay
The large amount of new ships entering the container
fleet throughout the last years is decisive for the age
profile. Container ships are much younger than any
other ship type within the world merchant fleet. At the
beginning of 2004, their average age stood at 10.5
years. 27.5 per cent of all container ships were
attributable to building years in the period of 19992003 and 26.4 per cent were built before 1989. The
latter age class represent, in terms of tonnage, only
20.6 per cent of the total container fleet which is equal
to a TEU share of 17.9 per cent. Thus, the scrapping
potential in the container shipping market is limited.
Based on the average age of broken-up tonnage for
the year 2003, which stood at nearly 26 years, there
are about 150 ships with 2.2 mill dwt equal to 0.12
mill TEU in this age category.
per cent of the total TEU-capacity of the world cellular
container fleet, were attributable to sizes above 4,000
TEU. Moreover 109 container ships with approx.
741,000 TEU were attributable to size categories of
6,000 TEU and over, other 148 ships in this size
category stood in the order book of January 1st, 2004.
Fig. 3: Container fleet development by TEU-size
classes as of January 1st, 2000 – 2004
In the period of 2000-2004, the TEU-capacity of fully
cellular container ships up to 999 TEU increased on
average by 2.6 per cent, whereas the size classes
1,000-1,999 TEU and 2,000-3,999 TEU grew by 4.0
per cent and 6.1 per cent respectively. A record high
was realised by ships in sizes above 4,000 TEU. Their
TEU-capacity increased in the period 2000-2004 on
average by 24.1 per cent yearly.
Thus, looking at the size development of container
ships there is, as in previous years, a marked tendency
towards larger units. At the beginning of 2004, 473
fully cellular container ships, equal to a share of 38.7

At the beginning of 2004, the container tonnage (dwt)
registered for OECD countries had a share of 30.8 per
cent of the world fully cellular container fleet, whereas
in 1991 their share stood at 44.3 per cent (ship of
1000 gt and over).

At the beginning of 2004, the “country of domicile”
analysis, including container ships of 1,000 gt and
over, reflects that 64.3 per cent of the container
tonnage was not registered in the country of domicile of
the owner, but flagged-out. Whereby 76.8 per cent of
the container tonnage, in terms of dwt, was attributable
to OECD-countries (excl. unknown)3.

Over one third of the container TEU-tonnage belongs
to the open registry flags Panama and Liberia. At the
beginning of 2004, 583 container ships with 20.7 mill
dwt and 1.5 mill TEU were registered in Panama which
is equal 23.0 per cent of the total TEU capacity of the
world fully cellular container fleet. Liberia ranks on the
second place with 376 vessels having a capacity of
0.95 mill TEU representing 14.8 per cent of the total
TEU capacity of the world fully cellular container fleet.
At the beginning of 2004, the German registered fully
cellular container fleet stood at 0.46 mill TEU (2003:
0.51 mill TEU) and is the third largest flag in world
container fleet ranking.
At the beginning of 2004, the top ten open registry
flags registered 51.8 per cent of the world container
tonnage (dwt). In the period of 2000-2004, they
increased their registered tonnage volume in container
shipping yearly on average by 13.1 per cent.

But 19 container ships (of the Maersk S-class serie) range as officially
indicated by A.P. Möller between 6,418 and 7,226 TEU, whereas experts
estimate their TEU-capacity up to 8,500 TEU.

There is a strong concentration on European and Asian
shipowners. At the beginning of 2004, European
shipowners controlled at least 3.7 mill TEU equal to
60.0 per cent of the total TEU capacity of the world
container fleet. At the same time the share of Asian and
Oceanian owners reached 34.5 per cent. In the period
of 2000-2004, European and Asian container
shipowners increased their fleets, measured in TEU, per
year by 15.6 per cent and 5.1 per cent respectively.
As far as container ship operators are concerned the
container shipping industry has gone through a period
of massive concentration which is not necessarily
reflected in the above ownership analysis.
Approx. 65 per cent of all fully cellular container ships
and 75 per cent of the global TEU capacity is

Container and general cargo fleet, supply/demand, ports
controlled by only 15 operators. The largest is MaerskSealand, operating a capacity of 778.000 TEU equal
to 13.0 per cent of the total world fleet capacity. Nine
of the top 15 operators are with major parts of their
fleets involved global alliances. As shown in Fig. 8,
about 28 per cent of the total container capacity is
employed in three alliances (CHKY alliance, Grand
Alliance incl. Grand Americana and New World
Alliance). Together with the big three “independent
carriers”, namely Maersk-Sealand, MSC and
Evergreen, these “Global Players” have a market share
of 56 per cent on the total TEU-capacity in world
container shipping.
Fig. 5: TEU-capacity of top ranking containership
operators as of February 2003 and 2004
are operating, thereof 94 vessels of the CHKY alliance
with about 0.4 mill TEU. The largest container vessels
are employed in the “Europe-Far East” trade with an
average capacity of 5.290 TEU. In this trade MaerskSealand is involved with 39 carriers with (average
capacity 6.018 TEU). Related to all relations, MaerskSealand employed by far the largest ship units (about
5.000 TEU). In the Transatlantic trade only two Global
Players have major market shares with 38.9 per cent
(Grand Americana) and 24.7 per cent (MaerskSealand).

In container shipping charter activities have a growing
importance. According to MDS Transmodal 46.3 per
cent of the world container fleet capacity4 of the 15 top
ranking operators (based on TEU) is chartered in. For
comparison, in 1998 only 28 per cent of their TEU
capacity was attributable to charter tonnage. Especially
German shipowners are the counterpart in the
container charter market providing container operators
with additional ships. Charter strategies of container
operators differ significantly. Whereas COSCO has
only a share of eight per cent of chartered in container
ships the share for CSCL or Hanjin stood at over 70 per
cent.
Container fleet operations of the “Global Players“
concentrates on the Europe-Far East, Transatlantic and
Transpacific trades. As far as ship operations are
concerned the most important trading region is the
Transpacific. In the trade between Far East and North
America 312 container ships involved in 66 services

Deployment of general cargo ships is related towards
specific commodities and/or trades (short sea shipping).
Their operating niches range between the liner industry
and the market for smaller bulk carriers.
The general cargo fleet is composed of various subtypes (Compare Table 6) having their own momentum
in the market. General cargo single-deck ships
increased their tonnage shares on the total general
cargo fleet from 40.8 per cent in 2000 to 45.0 per
cent at the beginning of 2004. In the same period,
multi deckers dwt-share decreased from 35.3 per cent
to 28.7 per cent in 2004.
ISL 2004
At the beginning of 2004, general cargo ships had an
average age of 22.2 years. Nearly 70 per cent of all
general cargo ships, which equals to more than two
thirds of the total deadweight tonnage, were already
built before 1989, whereby the age profile for the
various sub-types of the general cargo fleet differs.
Overaging of the general cargo fleet is especially true
for the multi-deck fleet. As of January 1st, 2004, multideckers had an average age of 26.2 years, besides
cargo/passenger ships (average age 32.5) the oldest
fleet segment. Thus, future scrapping activities in the
field of general cargo shipping will largely be
concentrated on this fleet segment.
Fig. 7: General cargo fleet by ship type and division
of age as of January 1st, 2004 (No of ships)
During the period of 1999-2003, 1,898 general cargo
ships with 18.2 mill dwt were reported to be broken-up,
thereof 963 multi deckers with a tonnage of 11.5 mill
dwt. During the same period 1,224. general cargo
ships (newbuildings and other entries) with 11.2 mill
dwt were added to the fleet. In terms of tonnage these
new entries were attributable to single-deck ships (64.5
per cent), special ships (13.4 per cent) and ro-ro cargo
ships (14.5 per cent). Single-deck ships grew steadily in
number and tonnage throughout the last years.
Looking at the year 2003, demolitions exceeded fleet
additions (newbuildings and other entries) by 2.5 mill
dwt. As a result, the general cargo fleet decreased, by –
1.6 per cent comparing tonnage figures as of January
1st, 2003 and 2004.

more than 15 per cent of the current fleet equal to

The world general cargo fleet is largely composed of
ships in smaller size classes. At the beginning of
2004, 10,629 ships were attributable to sizes up to
4,999 dwt. Figures on the world general cargo fleet,
summarised in Table 7, indicate that only 4.8 per cent
SSMR June 2004
Container and general cargo fleet, supply/demand, ports
of all general cargo ships, equal to 24.9 per cent of
the total general cargo tonnage, had sizes of 20,000

distribution. At the beginning of 2004, about 46 per
cent of the total cargo tonnage on order were
attributable to this size segment (+ 20,000 dwt).

Within the period 2000 – 2004, the top ten open
registry flags lost about 5.7 mill dwt (- 13.0 per cent ),
in particular the new EU members Cyprus and Malta
lost together 4.0 mill dwt in the mentioned period.
These losses are broken-up tonnage as well as flag
changes in equal shares.
On the contrary, OECD countries’ registered flag
shares on the world general cargo fleet (ships of 1000

period of 1991-2003 by 11.9 per cent (+2,1 mill

Panama is the leading register for general cargo

Global Insight - World trade outlook and world
contaierised trade development up to 20069
Nowhere has the building momentum in the global
recovery been more joyously received than among
shipowners. Liner operators are making money, and
they are euphoric about it. Box rates are increasing
steadily, and the full ships have encouraged a sharp
increase in the orderbook stretching deliveries out to
2007, despite rising new build prices.
Since the bursting of the IT bubble in 2000, the world
has had three years to adjust and absorb the resulting
damage to the economy. Terrorist attacks, the
Afghanistan and Iraq wars, escalating energy prices,
and corporate accounting scandals have diverted
economic resources, raised social costs, and reduced
investors’ and consumers’ confidence and, therefore,
slowed the economic recovery process. Continuing
technology progress, population growth, and
government monetary and fiscal stimulus have helped
to keep the global recovery on track. Entering 2004,
although the recovery has not yet played out, the
economies of most major countries have returned to
healthy conditions, with the structure and sustained
strength to continue growing. Non-Japan Asia and the
United States are taking the lead in this new round of
economic expansion, followed by Australia, New
Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, and then
Japan. Even Germany has returned to positive growth,
and the whole Eurozone has climbed out of recession.
Other economies, whether they experienced a
recession or maintained economic growth, are all
boosted by the recovery of the world’s major
economies. Global Insight’s latest forecast for the
world as a whole is for real GDP in 2004 to increase
by 4 per cent.
World full-container traffic is predicted to reach 69.7
million TEUs in 2004, an increase of 6.4 per cent
over last year. This is only a slightly slower growth
than in 2003 (which was 6.8 per cent), but far
superior to the meagre 1.1per cent growth in 2001.
With economic growth strong in most importing
regions, and with China exporting so much liner
cargo, the drivers of this increase are clear. Its
container exports are more than double those of the
9 The contribution is based on the World Trade Service published
by Global Insight. Compare www.globalinsight.com
10
United States. Also, the growth of China's exports is
projected to be one of the fastest in the world.
The amazing dominance of China as an exporter of
containerised cargo can be seen in table 11; China's
exports in 2005 will be more than double its exports
in 2000. Its average annual growth of 6 per cent will
keep it in the top position throughout the forecast
period.
This year, China will gain another 5 per cent share of
total container exports over 2003, an amazing feat.

TEUs from Northeast Asia dominate the container flow
picture worldwide, in terms of both volume and
growth. Shipments from Northeast Asia to North
America and North Europe will reach 13.5 million
TEUs this year (2004), and will climb to 18.2 million
in 2008. North America's container exports are
dominated by flows to Northeast Asia (3.5 million

China) was the fastest growing export region for
containerised cargo, at 15.1 per cent, and that this
growth is expected to remain the fastest through the
2006 forecast, slipping to 7.4 per cent in the final
year. By 2006, Northeast Asia's exports will top 30.1
million TEUs.
Northbound flows, from Latin America to North
America and to North Europe will grow steadily,
reaching 3.3 million TEUs this year and climbing to
3.8 million in 2006. New free-trade agreements with
Europe are part of the stimulus on this trade, with
lower tariffs in the future for key Latin American
exports, from refrigerated products to manufactured
goods.
Total exports from Northeast and Southeast Asia
together will reach 33.7 million TEUs this year, up 9.7
per cent. Container exports from North America and
North Europe will be roughly equal in 2004, at 8.4
million TEUs, with North America's growth at only 1.5
per cent and Europe's at 2.4 per cent. However,
Europe's main export trading partner is North
America, and North America's is Notheast Asia,
clearly implying that westbound trade across the North
Container trade between Asia and Europe will hit 9.8
million TEUs this year, with 2.3 times more TEUs
moving westbound to Asia than in the reverse
direction. This disparity in container volumes comes
about this year because of the high growth (11.2 per
cent) expected in westbound shipments, compared
with only 4.2 per cent from Europe to Asia.

economic growth in China will be managed into a
soft-landing using the limited but potentially effective
tools available to the Chinese government, such as
slight modifications to the exchange rate.

The ratio of eastbound to westbound TEUs in this
trade will be 2.7 this year. However, under the
assumptions of continued Chinese manufacturing
growth and high-growth exports, this ratio grows to
4.6 by the end of the long-term forecast (2022). In

11
Container and general cargo fleet, supply/demand, ports
that year, eastbound TEUs will amount to 27.8
million, implying that U.S. West Coast ports will have
to expand considerably to handle the influx.

For the transatlantic trades the total trade will be 2.9
million TEUs this year, with westbound (to United
States) volumes about 1.6 times greater than
eastbound volumes. While U.S. imports from
Northern Europe will slow next year to 2.5 per cent,
from this year's 3.6 per cent, partly in response to the
weaker dollar, exports will grow faster than imports
next year, also in response to the weaker dollar, which
will help reduce the imbalance slightly.
The reader is encouraged to view the transatlantic
trade through the Global Trade Navigator, which
permits the identification of individual European
nation's trade with the United States, and which also
has forecasts of Europe's trade with separate U.S.
coastal ranges. 10

Monthly market indicators at a glance
Cargo upturns in container trades are also reflected in
traffic statistics of leading world container ports as
well as container freight rates.
The new ISL “Monthly Container Port Monitor” shows
the dynamic development of world container traffic.
Monthly TEU figures up to April 2004 increased
dramatically in the majority of hub ports in Asia,
Europe and America.
Container charter rates monitored by ISL recovered
increasingly during 2003, but reaching a record high
during the first half of 2004. Compare also the
“Freight Market” section in this issue. After a decrease
in the second half of 2003 also the German overall
index of liner trade freight rates up to May 2004,
reflects freight rate increases especially in Asian and
American trades11. From January to April 2004 the
overall index increased by 7 percent.

The weighted Charter Rate Index from Howe Robinson
increased more than 76 per cent during the year
2003 and 38 per cent from the beginning of January

During 2003, 445 container vessels with a capacity of
1.9 mill TEU were contracted. This represents a new
record high compared with previous years’ figures. At
the beginning of 2004, the container ship order book
(ships of 300 gt and over) stood at 588 ships with
31.3 mill dwt and 6.4 mill TEU. At least 86 container
ships on order have capacities of 8,000 TEU and
above. As in the previous years, the focus of the order
activity has been on large ship units. In terms of
tonnage, the order book of fully cellular container
ships increased by 120 per cent compared with dwttonnage figures at the beginning of 2003. The order
book represents a TEU-share of 43.1 per cent related
to the existing container fleet (April 1st, 2004).

Future tonnage supply in container and general
cargo shipping
Decisive for the deployment in general cargo and
container shipping is moreover the development of
future tonnage supply, namely the potential of
demolitions and new orders.
According to ISL findings, 49 container ships totalling
1.0 mill dwt were broken-up during 2003. In terms of
tonnage, this is equal to an increase of 11 per cent
compared with results in 2002. Scrap candidates in
2003 were mainly container ships in size ranges up to
999 TEU.
Container ships were reported to be 25.5 years in
service. The majority of these vessels were built in the
seventies. The scrapping potential based on container
fleet patterns as of January 1st, 2004 consists of 150
container ships with 0.12 mill TEU.
ISL 2004
Whereas the future tonnage supply and thus the
supply/demand balance will be determined by a large
number of newbuildings, the situation is completely
different in general cargo shipping. In 2003, 518
general cargo ships with a total of 4.1 mill dwt were
sold to breakers, which represents, in terms of
SSMR June 2004
13
Container and general cargo fleet, supply/demand, ports
tonnage, an increase of 24.4 per cent compared with
results in 2002. During 2003, 226 general cargo
ships with 2.5 mill dwt were added to the order book
(ships of 300 gt and over). Compared to the year
2002, this represents, in terms of dwt, an increase of
about 13 per cent. The total order book as of January
1st, 2004 stood at 438 general cargo ships with 5.1
mill dwt. Compared with last year's results, this
represents an increase of 17.4 per cent.
Looking at recent developments ISL records indicate
that up to April 2004, 120 general cargo ships with a
tonnage volume of 0.7 mill dwt and only six container
ships with 0.1 mill dwt were reported to be broken-up.
During the first quarter of 2004, new orders
amounted to 85 general cargo ships with 0.7 mill dwt
and 116 fully cellular container ships with 0.5 mill
TEU and 6.3 mill dwt respectively.
THE SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY
Order activities for general cargo and fully cellular
container ships are an indicator for the “market
climate”. As already pointed out, for both market
segments ordering of new tonnage developed
positively.

As of January 1st, 2004, 58.0 per cent of the total
general cargo tonnage, in terms of cgt, was
attributable to Asian shipyards (January 1st, 2000:
48.7 per cent). Their cgt market share for container
ships stood at 86.7 per cent. Far Eastern yards
increased their order book container tonnage by over
200 per cent compared with figures at the beginning
of 2000 which is equal to an average yearly growth of
32.1 per cent. The order book ranking by country of
build is led by Japan for general cargo ships and by
South Korea for containerships. The latter is especially
dominating the market for larger container ship units.

At the beginning of 2004, the order book reached a
level of of 18.8 mill cgt for container ships and 5.8
mill cgt for general cargo ships. Compared with
previous years' cgt figures, the order book for
container ships strongly increased by 115 per cent,
whereas the increase for general cargo ships stood at
23.7 per cent. The order book at the beginning of
2004 comprised 86 container ships in sizes of 8,000

have a cgt share of 27.3 per cent on the total

WORLD PORT CONTAINER TRAFFIC
The following analysis is focussing on the regional
development patterns of world container ports15.
The total container traffic volume of the top container
ports, with a container traffic of more than one mill
TEU analysed here, reached 219.5 mill TEU in 2003
and increased by 13 per cent compared with results in
2002. Included in the 2003 analysis are 62 ports, of
which 28 Asian ports, 17 European ports and 15
American ports.
In 2003, approx. 63 per cent of the world container
traffic, in terms of TEU, were attributable to Asian
ports, whereby the top 8 Chinese ports alone
represent 25.9 per cent of the total container traffic.
Europe had a share of 20.2 per cent of the world
container port traffic and America 15.4 per cent.

Based on information from Chinese port officials, the
port of Shenzhen, vis-à-vis to Hong Kong at the
mouth of the Pearl River, is expected to become the
biggest Chinese mainland port. The port reached a
container traffic growth of nearly 40 per cent
compared with 2002 and handled more than 10 mill
TEU in 2003 - just half a million TEU less than
Shanghai. The average annual growth rate from
1995 to 2003 of the port of Shenzhen is 37.4 per
cent - the fastest growing Chinese port. As the

15 ISL provides detailed information on container traffic development of
major world container ports. Information is based on the ISL port data
base and a special inquiry. Comments on the presented tables and
completions of missing data and additional statistics will be much
appreciated. A detailed description of the ISL port data base is included
on the following pages. The 62 Ports presented in the statistical analysis
represent, in terms of TEU, approx. two thirds of the total world container
port traffic. Thus, figures are a basic indicator for maritime trade
developments in 2002/2003. The monthly traffic figures are based on our

In 2003, container traffic of the two top ranking world
ports increased 6.8 per cent (Hong Kong) and 8.7 per
cent (Singapore). The third ranking port, now
Shanghai, grew by 30.9 per cent up to a traffic
volume of 11.3 mill TEU in 2003.
Hong Kong asserted its top position for the fifth year
in succession. With container traffic volumes of 20.5
mill TEU and 18.4 mill TEU respectively. Hong Kong
and Singapore are by far the largest container ports in
the world. However, the smaller transhipment hubs in
the region consistently increased traffic and thus their
market shares. During the last year, e.g. Port Tanjung

ports of Hamburg and Antwerp outperformed the
other ports in the range. They achieved TEU increases
of 14.2 per cent (Hamburg) and 13.3 per cent
(Antwerp) respectively. Taken together, this represents
an increase of 1.4 mill TEU, whereas Rotterdam alone
gained only about 580,000 TEU.

Hong Kong’s container traffic shows a relatively low
increase compared with other regional ports. This
results from competitive influences mainly of Chinese
mainland ports.
Japanese container ports, except Tokyo (increase of
14.9 per cent), show only moderate growth
tendencies. The three top ranking Japanese ports,
included in the ISL analysis, topped their last year’s
result by almost 0.7 mill TEU, equal to an increase of
9.9 per cent compared with 2003.
The major transhipment ports in the Near East are
Dubai Ports, Khor Fakkan in the UAE, Salalah in
Oman and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. According to the
Dubai Ports Authority, the increase mainly results from
the increasing Chinese traffic. Dubai showed a
container traffic growth of 22.8 per cent compared
with 2002 reaching a total traffic volume of 5.15 mill
TEU and Salalah, the port with the largest service
gantries in the world, showed an enormous plus of 59
per cent now handling two mill TEU.
All major container ports in the US, except Long
Beach, showed substantial gains. This is true for
Tacoma (plus 18.2 per cent, in 2003 1.74 mill TEU),
Los Angeles (plus 17.6 per cent, 7.2 mill TEU in
2003), Savannah (plus 14.6 per cent, in 2003, 1.52
mill TEU), and the port of Virginia (plus 14.5 per cent
1.65 mill TEU in 2003).
In 2003, Rotterdam, the top European container port,
increased it’s traffic by 8.9 per cent. The port now is
ranked on position 8 in the world container port
league. The port once again lost market shares to
Antwerp and Hamburg, which increased their
combined market share considerably. Once again the
16

Container traffic of the top Mediterranean ports
increased by 9.2 per cent. This growth is mainly
determined by Algeciras, Piraeus and Barcelona,
showing an increase of 15 per cent (Algeciras up to
2.6 mill TEU in 2003), 14.2 per cent (Piraeus up to
1.6 mill TEU in 2003) and 13.4 per cent (Barcelona
up to 1.6 mill TEU in 2003). Competition between the
large transhipment hubs is extremely strong.

shows differences of ports with view to their trade
relations. This is especially true for European North
Sea ports and Far Eastern ports.

Bremen and Antwerp have strong links to the
Americas, Hamburg and Rotterdam are more related
to Asia. But the traffic analysis underlines that ports
gained ground in trades which are not their core
domain. For example Bremen Ports and Antwerp
show highest growth rates in Asian trades and
Hamburg in American and intra-European trades.
Rotterdam lost market shares of the European-wide
traffic
to
Hamburg,
Antwerp
and
Bremen/Bremerhaven. This is especially true for
transhipment potentials related to the Baltic sea.

North American West coast ports have strong
relationships to Far Eastern ports. Their traffic is to
more than 90 per cent distributed to and from the Far
East. This interrelation is underlined by the analysis of
monthly container traffic of North American West
coast ports.

A competitive analysis of Chinese container ports using the
Analytic Hierarchy Process
Maritime Economics and Logistics (6) 2004, issue 1, pages
34-52
Ref.: This article identifies the competitiveness of container ports in
China, including Hong Kong, using the framework of the Analytic
Hierarchy Process (AHP) and provides managerial and strategic
implications. The findings of the empirical analysis confirm the
general perception that Hong Kong is the most competitive port in
China, followed by Shanghai and Yantian. The research results show
that "location" still plays the most significant role in the evaluation
process of a port's competitiveness.
Tharakan, J.:
Box sector awaits policy shift
Fairplay (350) 2004, issue 17.06., pages 20-21
Ref.: India's container sector is keeping busy while the country's new
government is considering major changes in monopoly curbs at the
nation's container terminals. The Directorate General-Shipping is
weighing a proposal to allow a private operator to develop and run
two container terminals at the same port. Operators are now limited
to one terminal. P&O Ports India, which is wholly owned by
international terminal giant P&O and operates India's largest
container terminal, Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal
(NSICT) at Jawharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), is by far India's largest
port company in the private sector. The bidding for the third terminal
at JNPT attracted at least half a dozen international players and lines.
Among them were Hamburg Port, CSX World Terminals, CMA CGM
and Evergreen. The project was delayed on account of the general
elections in India. A table lists India's port container traffic for 20032004.

Container cultivation
Asian Maritime Business 2004, issue 1.6, pages 28-32
Ref.: This article considers the growth of container ports in the
ASEAN. Since the 1997 Asian financial crisis, container traffic passing
through the ASEAN ports has grown at an average of more than 8
per cent a year. Since 1998, ASEAN has produced five new prime
container ports, each handling more than 2 mill. TEU a year. These
ports are: Port Klang, Malaysia; Tanjung Priok, Indonesia; Laem
Chabang, Thailand; Manila, Philippines; and Tanjung Pelepas,
Malaysia. This growth trend is expected to continue with secondary
ports such as Surabaya in Indonesia, Cebu in the Philippines and
Penang in Malaysia, which are expected to handle more than 1 mill.
TEU annually. Container port developments in each of the ASEAN
countries are reviewed in separate chapters. In the regional shipping
scene, feeder container lines have also been expanding their
business volumes. According to an ASEAN maritime transport
development study of 2002, which covered the period 2003-08,
unitisation services, such as containerisation and palletisation, have
18
been steadily increased at ASEAN ports. Multimodal transport is still
at an infant stage. But ASEAN has already started promoting
multimodal transport and full development of regional multimodal
transport operation can be expected in the next three to four years.

Shipping. This special supplement provides an in-depth look at
Costamare's fleet, history and operations. Today, the Athens-based
group has an all-cellular fleet of 55 ships in service and on order,
which makes it arguably the largest independent company of its type
worldwide, with more capacity than many of the well-known branded
container services.

Dynamar: Dyna liners trades review 2004 (1 January 2003
to 31 December 2003)
Alkmaar : Dynamar, 2004.- 52 pages
Ref.: This annual publication reviews trends and events which
dominated the liner-shipping scene in 2003 and presents overviews,
statistics, summaries on container shipping, top 20 operators,
ports/terminals, container ships, etc. Although liner shipping faced
some severe setbacks in 2003, carriers saw their financial results
substantially improve during the year. Main developments were: The
outbreak of SARS affecting China especially; the Iraq conflict; a
further rise of outsourcing; unprecedented increasing exports from
the Far East, for China in particular; further rising imbalances; nearly
doubling of charter rates; continued high bunker prices; a
persevering depreciation of the US Dollar (versus the Euro); an
avalanche of orders for 8,000+ container vessels; increasing
discrepancy between the growth of the world trade and container
carryings on some of the main trade routes.
Hussain, T.:
Emirates boxes tower over the Gulf
Fairplay (350) 2004, issue 08.01., pages 18-27
Ref.: This feature story reviews the year 2003 as well as current
developments in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Three years of
sustained oil prives have driven demand in the oil-rich Middle East
Gulf to new highs, despite the conflict in Iraq. Container throughput
at UAE's transhipment hubs is booming and has grown by more than
20% in 2003. UAE's major transhipment hubs, Dubai and Sharjah,
enjoy a steady growth in container trades. China is the largest source
of containers discharged at Dubai, with 282,000 TEU of the 4.23M
TEU handled. The unpredictable surge in container volumes over the
past three years has exposed an imminent capacity shortfall. That is
in stark contrast to regional competitor Salalah, which already
possesses ample berth space and the largest service gantries in the
world, and is well placed to attract and service the next generation of
container ships. Despite the Emirates' emergence as the hub for the
Middle East, its judiciary remains an anathema for shipowners
seeking to resolve disputes. A major reform is urgently needed if the
legal system is to keep pace with rampant commercial development.
UAE bulker operators see rising volumes and are investing heavily in
new Handymax and Panamax tonnage. The war in Iraq and strong
oil prices meant that tanker owners were reluctant to drydock their
vessels at UAE repair yards for most of 2003.

Haig-Brown, A.:
Growing the ships and the fleet
Motor Ship (85) 2004, issue Jun., pages 20-21
Ref.: Vancouver-based Seaspan Container Lines (SCL) has placed
orders for five 4,250 TEU ships for delivery in 2005, five 8,100 TEU
ships for delivery in 2004, and eight 9,600 TEU ships for delivery in
2006/2007. All of these ships will go under charter to China
Shipping Lines. Seaspan also has on order nine 4,250 TEU ships for
delivery in 2006/2007 with charter arrangements in place for CP
Ships. When delivered, these ships will catapult SCL into the major
league of container ship owners. Samsung Heavy Industries in Korea
is recognised as world leaders in the building of container ships,
there is little doubt that when ships with larger than 10,000 TEU
capacity will be ordered, they will be built in Korea. But they will be
built with significantly different technologies. The 9,600 TEU ships
currently on order have grown within the same technological envelop
as that developed for the 8,100 TEU ships. According to Seaspan
Container Lines' Director, Graham Porter, the main limiting factors in
building container ships over 10,000 TEU is the thickness of the steel
plate and the existing welding techniques. The specifications of
Seaspan's 10,000 TEU container vessel are outlined in this
contribution. The growth in ship size involves two related factors, the
hull form and the propulsion package. Some speculation on
container ships larger than 10,000 TEUs predicts twin-engine
configurations to drive the larger ship. While the container trade is
growing marginally, the efficiencies of the larger ships will allow them
to compete effectively on the heavier-volume cargo routes. With most
major ports installing container cranes that will reach to 20 or even
22 containers stowed across a ship, the beam stacking of containers
is not an issue. Whether the market demands will be there for this
larger tonnage as it comes into service over the next few years is less
predictable.
Gardiner, P.:
Hamburg Süd: building in Asia
Lloyd's Shipping Economist (26) 2004, issue 1, pages 28-31
Ref.: German liner company Hamburg Sud has expanded its global
network of liner services and has established itself as a leading
player in a number of trades. In this article the author examines the
path of expansion, how the company is currently positioned, its
services and its probable strategy for the coming years. The group is
involved in several areas of shipping, grouped in liner and tramp.
The main areas of operation are the north-south markets. Despite its
early-90s acquisitions, Hamburg Süd was still a relatively small
player. In recent years, liner acquisitions have lifted the number of
containerships operated by the Hamburg Süd group to 71, compared
with 46 at the end of 2002. The containership fleet with brief details
is presented in a table. The purchase of Kien Hung and Ellermann
should lift the group's annual carryings to around 1.2m in 2004. The
operational environment for Hamburg Süd is undeniable a difficult
one, because of the ups and downs of the north-south markets. The
most likely strategy of the group is to concentrate on growth in Asia,
while retaining its long-held strategy of north-south specialisation.
Wen Chang Huang, B.:
Hinged containership design concept
Motor Ship (85) 2004, issue Jun., pages 26-27
Ref.: The concept of building a ship as two or more independent ship
sections joined together by means of a hinge has never been fully
explored or tried out. A ship's engineer from Taiwan, Bill Wen Chang
Huang, claims to have solved the problem by incorporating
improvements to existing US patents and has now patented his ideas
with the United States Patent. This article outlines the hinged
containership design concept, which could be the answer for the ultra
large container ship. The principal objective of the invention is to
provide a novel ship design where the ship is constructed in at least
two separate ship bodies linked to each other by means of a huge
horizontally installed hinge. Another objective of the invention is to
enable the ship sections to be readily attached or detached from one
another so that when approaching a small harbour or quay, the
hinged ship can be tanken apart thus facilitating berthing. If
compared with conventional vessels of the same structural strength,
the hinged ship can be made larger which means ship holds become
larger, less engine power and smaller propellers are needed
consequently resulting in less fuel as well as material cost. Lloyd's
Register (LR) has been asked for their expert comments and, based
on a cursory examination, LR is of a general opinion that, on the
whole, the hinged containership concept appears to be a feasible
design. One of the crucial issues would be the strength and
construction of the hinge.
Power, T.:
How to manage liner costs
Lloyd's Shipping Economist (26) 2004, issue 1, pages 22-24
Ref.: Liner companies have had to place increasing emphasis on
controlling costs to enhance profit margins. The author reports on the
strategies lines have adopted to achieve this and how successful they
have been. At present container costs are under pressure as never
before. Approximately 40 per cent of costs relate to the positioning of
the empty container. Liner operators can have a very significant
impact on their costs by careful selection of cargo flows. A table
presents costs for movement of a 40' container from Shanghai to
Manchester. The development of the Internet offers cost savings for
liner operators. Web portals like CargoSmart, GTN and INTTRA
provide the customer with a single platform through which he can
interact with the liner company.
Gardiner, P.:
North-south trades: cost pressures soar
Lloyd's Shipping Economist (26) 2004, issue 5, pages 12-15
Ref.: The north-south trades covers routes linking Europe, Asia and
North America to Australia and New Zealand, sub-Saharan Africa,
South America, Central America and the Caribbean. In general
terms, north-south volumes have been growing. The expansion of
north-south liner trades is being threatened by the soaring costs of
chartering vessels and dealing with trade imbalance. The author
analyses recent trends on the different routes and how operators are
responding to the challenges. The most notable trend is the growing
share of multi-trade operations, which link more than two trading
areas and include many configurations. The main rationale behind
the operational changes has been to reduce costs, and this has
become a crucial problem as costs have spiralled. For operators
rising charter and repositioning costs are causing some difficulties.
The increase in the number of ships deployed on north-south routes
in 2003 was very slow, crawling up from 616 to 625 ships. Charter
rates are extremely important to this trade as 62 per cent of ships in
north-south operation are charterd in. A table presents containership
deployment by carrier group as of 1 January 2004.
Koch, T.; Soergel, J.:
The Container Terminal Altenwerder
Ports and Harbors (49) 2004, issue 2, pages 18-21
Ref.: In autumn 2002, the Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA)
started its operation. Owned and operated by HHLA, the new facility
is regarded as one of the most modern and innovative container
terminals in the world. 2003, in its first full year of operation, CTA
has reached a throughput of nearly 900.000 TEU. Final annual
capacity after completion of phase II will be 1.9 mill. TEU in 2004.
The successful realisation of CTA has proven that by use of
automation in combination with intelligent steering and terminal
logistics systems, efficiency in handling and at the same time cost
reduction can be achieved.

Drewry Shipping Consultants:
Annual review of global container terminal operators
London : Drewry Shipping Consultants, 2003.- 89 pages
Ref.: Analysis of the global container terminal operators. Private
sector participation has increased over the past decade as a result of
the privatisation of existing facilities and the utilisation of private
finance to construct new facilities. Over half of the world's container
terminal capacity is now managed by a small number of companies
that can be defined as global container terminal operators. These
companies, which by definition have operations in more than one
world region, handled an estimated 160 mill. TEU in 2002, over 58
per cent of total world container port throughput. The ten leading
container terminal operators are Hutchinson Port Holdings (HPH),
PSA Corporation, APM Terminals, P&O Ports, Eurogate, Evergreen
Marine Corporation, Dubai Ports Authority (DPA), Cosco, Hanjin
Shipping, and SSA Marine. Drewry's capacity forecasts show that the
global operators' share of world container terminal capacity will
increase at an average 5.6 per cent per year between 2002 and
2008. Contents of this study: 1) Global container terminal industry
structure. 2) Leading operators' league tables (rankings). 3) Analysis

Containerisation in the Americas to 2015
Chertsey/Surrey : Ocean Shipping Consultants, 2003.- 170
pages
Ref.: This study analyses the evolution of regional container handling
demand by port and assesses current developments in the Americas.
The Americas have seen a 2.5-fold increase in containerport demand
since 1990, and expanded even during the economic downturn in
2002. Demand has been boosted by both regionalisation, the
integration of trading patterns within the Americas, and globalisation,
which is progressively integrating all markets with Asia by means of
deepsea links and transshipments. North American containerport
demand has more than doubled over the period, with particularly
strong growth experienced in the Far East-North America trades,
especially with regard to China. Growth has been even more rapid in
the developing markets of Latin America and the wider Caribbean.
Future demand in the Americas is forecast to 2015 by region and
port range. Contents of this study: 1) Introduction. 2) Driving forces
and strategic issues. 3) Overview of markets and forecasts. 4) The
North American containerport market. 5) The Caribbean and Central
American containerport market. 6) The South American containerport
market. 7) Container shipping trends in the Americas. 8)

review. The census confirms that there were almost 16 mill. TEU
owned and leased worldwide by mid-2002, comprising almost 15.2
mill. TEU of maritime build and over 775,000 TEU of region-specific
or domestic container types, despite achieving its slowest rate of
annualised growth in almost a decade by just 4.5 per cent. Global
box inventories numbered over 10.5 mill. units at mid-2002 and were
valuated at around US$32.2 bill. The total leased container fleet
amounted to 7.2 mill. TEU at mid-2002. Despite the recent changes
affecting the global box building sector, annualised global production
has remained remarkably stable, averaging 1.4-1.6 mill. TEU, since
the mid-1990s. However, it is imminently forecast to increase,
because of greater replacement and the need to service the
expansion of an ever-larger fleet size.

Tonnage Specification
In case of double measurement statistics refer to the higher of two sets of tonnages in a twin-tonnage ship.
Gross tonnage:
(grt/gt)
grt indicates that the ship has been measured in accordance with tonnage regulations adopted prior to the coming into force of the
International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships 1969 on 18th July 1982. This Gross Tonnage is broadly, the capacity in cubic
feet of the spaces within the hull, and of the enclosed spaces above the deck available for cargo, stores, fuel, passengers and crew, with
certain exceptions, divided by 100. Thus, 100 cubic feet of capacity is equivalent to 1 gross ton.
gt indicates that the ship has been measured in accordance with the requirements of the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement
of Ships 1969 and is derived by formula in accordance with those requirements.
Net tonnage:
nrt is derived from the corresponding Gross Tonnage by deducting spaces used for the accomodation of the master, officers, crew, navigation
and propelling machinery.
(nrt/nt)
nt is derived by formula in accordance with the requirements of the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships 1969.
Deadweight tonnage: Unit of measurement expressed in tonnes of the maximum permitted load of a ship (i.e. the weight of cargo, passengers, fuel, stores and
crew) when loaded down to its maximum summer load line.
(dwt)
Compensated gross
tonnage (cgt):
Calculated by multiplying the tonnage of a ship by a coefficient, which is determined according to type and size of a particular ship. Cgt is
used as an indicator of volume of work that is necessary to build a given ship.
2.4 Trade and Traffic Statistics
The definition used and the coverage of statistics presented vary considerably. In general, figures indicate metric units in all tables in which data are measured in
weight, length or area.
Cargo tonnage
Containers
Revenue ton (U.S.)
Freight ton
Harbour ton
There are two bases for charging the carriage of cargo: weight and capacity (measurement). If 1 ton (20 cwt) of a cargo occupies more than 40
cubic feet than capacity is usually the basis. Cargoes are selected to give the best combination of payable tons by weight or measurement.
are usually measured in terms of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), being total length of containers in feet divided by 20.
A unit of cargo measurement found in all ports of the United States. It can not be defined in units either of weight or of space occupied by the
cargo as it varies from port to port, from line to line, and from ship to ship, depending on the customs of the port and the nature of the cargo
carried by the individual vessel. For any one port, however, and particularly for any one group of ships specializing in the same trade and
carrying approximately the same kind of commodities the revenue ton represents a tangible unit of cargo measurement and is frequently used
as the only means of expressing the total cargo of the ships.
All United States ships show on their manifests their total revenue tonnage, and very often they also indicate the total weight of the cargo in
long tons.
A unit of volume or weight used for quoting freight rates, in which 40 cu.ft. or 2,240 lbs. are taken as the equivalent of one ton. Also called
stevedore ton. The measurement or weight is generally at ship's option. For freight purposes the term ton may also be applied to a number of
hundered weights to be the equivalent of one ton and varying according to the goods.
1000 kg or 1 cubic metre which ever yields the highest tonnage.

ISL Port Data Base
4 Port profiles - Regional Trends - Benchmarking - Market Analyses
Services
The ISL is currently in the process of expanding its information services. In addition to our regular statistical publications, the Shipping
Statistics and Market Review and the Shipping Statistics Yearbook, we are increasingly providing individualised analytical data. To
meet this end, we updated our hardware and software to enable us to quickly process your inquiries.
With its large scope of information, the ISL Port Data Base is suited for extensive comparisons of major ports with regard to selected
items as well as for a detailed analysis of a single port or a group of ports using tables and graphs as well as maps. However, not all
figures are available for all ports, so contact us if you are interested in a specific extract.
We can also do groundwork for market analyses, benchmarking and other related work.
Data Structure
The ISL Port Data Base includes data starting 1980 on a yearly basis on the following items:
4Shipping traffic (no of ships, ship tonnage)

Basis of calculation 2004
Our basis of calculation for the total cost of a database extract is as follows:
€ 50.- basic fee, plus € 0.50 per item,
plus postage and packing and in case of inland sale plus VAT (MWSt).
The basic fee includes the setting up of a suited layout, the addition of the necessary explanatory remarks and footnotes as well as the
transmission of the data by fax and/or by E-Mail. By subscribing to a specified analysis on a yearly basis, you will save the basic fee
and get an additional 20 per cent off the other costs starting the second year.
Our comprehensive standard port profiles including data on shipping, cargo and container traffic, loading categories and major bulk
goods over a ten-year period (610 items altogether) as well as a number of graphs may be purchased at the price of € 160.- per port.
When subscribing to these profiles, you will receive updates for each port at € 30.- per year as soon as the figures are available to us.
