A new report by Sea-Intelligence reveals a concerning drop in global schedule reliability. January 2024 saw a 5.1% decline to 51.6%, the lowest since September 2022. This decline, attributed to the crisis, disrupts operations worldwide.

The crisis' impact is widespread, affecting over 60 across 34 trade routes. Delays are worsening, with the average late vessel arrival exceeding 6 days. Despite the challenges, CMA CGM emerged as the most reliable carrier with a 54.7% score.

However, the industry remains cautious. While assessed a potential stabilization in the Red Sea's south on February 29th, recent incidents like the attack on an vessel highlight ongoing volatility. Carriers like warn of disruptions extending into Q2 2024, emphasizing the need for resilience and adaptation. Collaborative efforts are crucial to navigate these challenges and restore sustained reliability in operations.

Amid a challenging economic landscape, PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) experienced noteworthy growth in container throughput, marking a 3% annual increase to reach 17.7 million TEUs, alongside a 6% rise in cargo handled, totaling 170 million tons in 2023.

President Director Arif Suhartono attributed this positive trend to strategic post-merger initiatives. Moreover, there was a notable uptick in ship calls by 7% and a significant surge in passenger numbers by 20%.

The implementation of centralized management practices and the introduction of innovative applications such as Terminal Operating System (TOS) and Terminal Operating System (PTOS-M) have significantly enhanced operational efficiency.

The post-merger period witnessed remarkable improvements in loading and unloading activities, resulting in a substantial reduction of operating costs by over 30% at .

Ernest Montolalu, owner of Serakoy Raya forwarding based in Jayapura (Papua), highlighted how the Integrated Billing System (IBS) streamlines document processing for forwarders. He noted that it eliminates the need to queue at counters, enabling online processing. Additionally, IBS accelerates billing processes. Montolalu emphasized that IBS has reduced Truck Round Time (TRT) significantly; now, trucks spend only 15 minutes loading from terminals, enhancing overall efficiency.

The National Strategy for Corruption Prevention has recognized and commended Pelindo's commitment to digitalization, which has streamlined processes and bolstered efficiency in the loading and unloading operations. Looking ahead, Pelindo is poised to sustain its transformational journey, aiming to integrate industrial areas with ports to further enhance logistics efficiency and solidify its position as a pivotal gateway and traffic stimulator.

In 2023, shipyards delivered a record-breaking 350 new container ships, totaling 2.2 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units), surpassing the previous record from 2015 when 1.7 million TEU was delivered. The surge in deliveries led to an 8% rise in the container fleet's capacity, marking the fastest growth since 2011. Ships larger than 15,000 TEU dominated deliveries, contributing to a 28% growth in that segment.

Looking ahead to 2024, a remarkable 478 with a combined capacity of 3.1 million TEU are scheduled for delivery, surpassing the 2023 record by 41%. Consequently, the container fleet capacity is expected to grow by 10% in 2024.

Another 83 ships larger than 15,000 TEU are expected to be delivered, doubling the segment's capacity in just four years.

Despite projections for increased ship recycling in 2024, the fleet could still grow by nearly 2.8 million TEU, potentially exceeding 30 million TEU for the first time by the end of 2024.

Chinese shipyards benefited most from the record high orders, delivering nearly 55% of all ship capacity during 2023 and 2024. In contrast, South Korean yards are expected to deliver 38% of the ship capacity.

In contrast to the remarkable growth in capacity, the container market grew only 0.2% year-on-year in 2023, reaching 173.8 million TEU. This growth significantly lags behind overall development, with the world economy growing 10% since 2019.

While the container industry experiences unprecedented growth in fleet capacity, challenges related to market growth, regional trade dynamics, and economic factors necessitate strategic planning and adaptation within the industry to achieve sustainable growth and stability.

Red Sea Shipping Disrupted: Houthi Attacks, Supply Chain Shifts, and Price Fluctuations

Recent developments along the trade route have brought significant disruptions to global , rates, and operations. Here's a breakdown of the key factors shaping this landscape:

Shippers on the Asia-North Europe route face extended transit times due to a strategic shift around Africa, bypassing the Suez Canal. Initially, surged, but recent weeks have seen a slight easing, though concerns about rate stability remain.

ports in North Europe manage delayed ships well, but hubs like Rotterdam face challenges due to intersecting port operations and exporters' cycles. Overall, port operations maintain stability with varying utilization levels.

Escalating Houthi attacks in the Red Sea region have led to a significant decline in shipping activity. Despite US-led airstrikes, attacks have increased, impacting commercial shipping and trade flows, highlighting complex security challenges.

The Red Sea is vital for Asia-Europe trade, and disruptions reverberate across global networks. Reduced ship usage, coupled with rising freight charges, may affect consumer goods prices and supply chains. Additionally, circumnavigating Africa instead of using the complicates logistics and trade dynamics.
