We - he has specified - have a reduced fleet a lot in China and are assisting to a rise of the demand for charterings in all Asia. We are newly riposizionando containers in China in order to continue to satisfy the increasing you ask. Even if the costs for the repositioning of the container must be supported, we expect that these efforts will improve our rate use in the course of 2017".

Consequently they are increasing also new the every day rates of the container and in warehouse.
