⚖️ The Market Shift: From Scarcity to Surplus
In just 24 months, the global narrative flipped:
From “too few ships” to “too much capacity.”
Demand: +3% forecast for 2026
Fleet growth: +3.6% (the highest since 2019)
Orderbook: Above 10 million TEU, mostly scheduled for 2027–28
For the first time since COVID, market fundamentals clearly favor the cargo side of the equation.
Freight rates are falling across key corridors, while operating costs — fuel, charter, and green compliance — continue to pressure carriers.
💡This imbalance will shape every commercial decision in 2026.
