Providing information on world-wide container supply and demand is key to opening up transparency into the industry.  At a global level, estimating container supply, demand and utilisation levels is straightforward.

Traditionally, the greater the level of detail the more difficult it becomes to understand how container lines use their capacity to service demand - hence accurate pictures beyond a summary level of the major trade-lanes has been impossible to achieve.

Knowledge of the historic and forecasted supply and demand combined with container line market-shares is extremely powerful for managing business throughout the container shipping business cycle.

However, to gain the deepest understanding of the decision drivers of the industry, one must also examine the profits and losses of the industry.

Those container lines who publish their financial results provide needed insight into their performance, albeit that their performances cannot easily be compared due to differences in the constituent parts of their performances. 

BoxTradeIntelligence presents P&L information for all 19 trading regions for 20 different Trade Lanes, based on like-for-like analyses of all services plying the various Trade Lanes.
