The Intra-Mediterranean container trades 2023

The Mediterranean region

The Mediterranean is a fascinating part of the world and the cradle of some great ancient civilisations. Nowadays it comprises some 30 different countries and 46,000 kilometres of coastline, and has a population of 740 million. There are great contrasts in the region as it hosts a mix of developed, industrialised nations and less-developed, emerging economies. Conflicts and natural disaster add to those challenges.

The container trade

There is a vibrant container trade within the Mediterranean basin. Approximately 40 containership operators provide services, starting from, finishing in, or sailing within the Mediterranean. These services are operated by almost 300 vessels with a combined carrying capacity of 400,000 TEU, transporting around 7.5 million TEU annually.

The trade capacity model

Dynamar’s trade capacity modelling system provides an in-depth analysis on which carriers deploy how much trade capacity on which trade lanes, and how much of this capacity can be allocated to individual ports. The analysis includes comparisons to previous years and considers the effects of major geopolitical events, such as the conflict in Ukraine.
