Impacts of the Red Sea crisis on global shipping

Only 52% of container ships arrive in their destination port on schedule right now. It also drives up costs: ships that take the route around the Cape of Good Hope burn an additional 100 tons of fuel per day, at a cost of 1 million US dollars per ship. Freightrates for a container from Asia to Europe consequently shot up by 220% between December 2023 and January 2024. Some carriers are now charging their customers “disruption surcharges”. If that persists, the Red Sea crisis could raise annual import price inflation by close to 5 percentage points, estimates the OECD which could add […]

CO2 shipping: outlook for a niche shipping segment

As global CO2 markets develop, the size of CO2 tankers is expected to increase, and many believe that due to geographical distribution of emitters, CO2 shipping should play a role. Furthermore, CO2 shipping is expected to be more important in Europe than in the United States and China, where announced CCS projects rely more on onshore pipeline infrastructure and onshore storage. An educated estimate for the number of vessels required by 2030 is in the range 10-20 vessels. However, should every project come to fruition in the short term, which is unlikely, the total number of vessels could exceed 50. […]
