The global container ship orderbook is bound to set a record in Q3 2024. Even before September is out and fully accounted for, Alphaliner has registered over 130 vessel orders, exceeding a total of 1.8 Mteu.
This already surpasses the previous record from Q1 2021, when 1.77 Mteu were added to the orderbook.
The orders placed so far in Q3 2024 have expanded the global cellular orderbook by just under 32% in terms of TEU on order and about 21% in terms of vessel count.
