CONTAINER RATES ARE DROPPING...SUPPLY EXCEEDS DEMAND...

ComPair Data Rate Capacity Nexus Report







Dear Reader,

Rates are falling and capacity is fluctuating by the week, but do you have a good handle on how capacity affects rates?

On key trades from South China to all U.S. ports, capacity was increased in the second quarter and it had a negative impact on rates as demand slowed. Rates from Busan to North America plummeted in the second quarter due to increased capacity in the first quarter. The link between capacity and rates is clear.All this and more is included in the latest edition of the ComPair Data Rate-Capacity Nexus Report, Click Here to purchase the report.



The report analyzes the movement of capacity and rates for 100 port-to-port pairs from the third quarter of 2010 through the first half of 2011, giving a complete picture of how these two crucial variables influenced one another over the past four quarters. The report uses rate information from partner SeaIntelligence.com and ComPair Data’s detailed allocated capacity estimates on a host of key trades to and from North America. Rates from SeaIntelligence are based on average all-in, port-to-port FAK rates, on a 40-foot-equivalent unit (FEU) basis.
