Why is an effective cargo solution crucial for a container ship? Welcome to MacGregor Cargo System Insights with Arto Toivonen and Toni Mäenpää. In this video, we explore why an effective cargo solution is crucial, not only for shipowners, but also shipyards. Shipyards develop specific vessel types to meet market demands, address shipowner inquiries, and differentiate themselves from competitors. By integrating MacGregor’s optimised cargo system early, you can make a significant difference compared to standard vessels and gain a competitive edge.

Red Sea diversions continue to buoy containership lessor returns by inflating demand for available tonnage. Less than 1% of the world’s containership capacity is commercially idle, a level that “echoes numbers recorded during Covid”, said Alphaliner on Tuesday. Idle capacity was at 0.9% in March and 0.7% in February, the lowest since February 2022, at the height of the supply chain crisis. Demand for ship charters “remains healthy,” with lease rates that exceed pre-Covid levels. Scrapping remains minimal. Post-panamaxes and larger ships continue to be fully booked, leading to a dearth of fresh charters. Panamaxes “remain very popular with charterers and are enjoying further rate increases”, said Alphaliner. It reported that the 4,253 teu panamax Synergy Antwerp (IMO: 9443580) has just been chartered by Hapag-Lloyd for 11-14 months at $26,500 per day, above the prior benchmark of $25,000-$25,500 per day. Sub-panamaxes and smaller ships are seeing even higher demand. According to Braemar, “The feeder segment remains the most active, with the majority of reported transactions and extensions.” The ultimate impact of the Red Sea crisis on containership lessors hinges on whether Red Sea diversions outlast current legacy charters, which are headed toward a “maturity wall” https://lnkd.in/e_pHpyGc

■ One More Container Ship Capsized in Port Because of Ballasting Container ship CHIAPAS STAR developed heavy starboard list at Mazatlan port, Mexico, early in the morning Sep 11, when she was about to leave for La Paz, Baja California Sur. Ballasting said to be the cause of stability loss, which led to heavy list or probably, capsizing. Touching bottom is mentioned, she might be resting on bottom, by starboard side. Now, it is interesting, what exactly caused faulty ballasting? Might it be “ballast water management” regulations, notorious for problem they create for crew and for ships’ stability? The crew left the ship, salvage pending. Continue below to FleetMon by Kpler for the full article. ☼ Headquartered in Savannah GA, John S.

24 euros per day or ship owner's peaceful sleep... https://lnkd.in/gUKJTcSy We have a company whose vessels enter and exit via #Bystriy Canal. The permitted draft of 5.5m allows them to do so even in laden condition. But we constantly register them in the programme, so that vessels can anchor in #Romanian territorial waters. To my question, why do you have to pay 24 euros per day for anchorage (there were cases when vessels anchored for 10 days) + minimum agency fee (as we need to check prearrivals, and add them to the system), if vsl can be 12 miles outside for free? The operator of one of these vessels told me that this way he and the direction of the company are more relaxed. Who we are, to argue with ship owners :) With kind regards Katerina Kononenko AVALON SHIPPING SRL Sulina / Danube shipping agency Mob.: + 40767458944 www.avalonshipping.eu
