In the first nine months of 2023 alone, another 187 vessels have been added to the global newbuilding pipeline.

Predominantly ordered by the carriers themselves rather than by tonnage providers, these #ships represent some 1.75 Mteu of additional #fleet capacity.

This has brought the global vessel orderbook to a record high of 7.88 Mteu, equivalent to almost 29% of today’s fleet capacity.
