Sea-Intelligence, containerized shipping companies have not used blank sailing to decrease capacity
Analyzed the trend of capacity offered on the routes between Asia and North America and between Asia and Europe/Mediterranean
January 20, 2021
The company explained that, for example, month after month, at since last July, on the routes between Asia and the west of North America there was an injection of capacity through the entry into service of more container containers or additional services that has led to the more than compensated for the amount of capacity removed with blank sailing. Sea-Intelligence has specified that there have been times when this increase in capacity was 30% year on year despite some departures had been erased.
Sea-Intelligence also pointed out that a similar trend, with a net increase in capacity that has occurred since since last July, it has been found in relation to services between Asia and the east coast of North America, while the services between Asia and Northern Europe recorded net growth capacity since last August and services between Asia and the Mediterranean from October. According to Sea-Intelligence, therefore, what maritime carriers intentionally have reduced capacity by cancelling departures is nothing else than a myth without any foundation.
