GLG Network Survey: Container Shipping III

SURVEY DETAILS

We have just finished a survey of 60 executives within the container shipping industry who discussed the current trends in the space. This is the third wave in this survey series.

What will you learn from this survey?

• The survey captured a global overview of the Container Shipping industry, with regional perspectives from the US, Europe and Asia.
• Respondents discussed the operational challenges that are currently being faced within the industry.
• Furthermore, the research covered topics such as the freight rates, slow steaming and environmental concerns.

Examples of findings:

• More than half (57%) of respondents expect ships to “slow steam when freight rates are low”.
