DynaLiners Trades Review 2024 – Adjusting to New Realities

Adjusting to New Realities

Dynamar’s latest annual review, titled ‘Adjusting to New Realities’, provides an analysis of developments in the container shipping industry in the past year and a brief look into the future. It serves as a natural follow on from 2022’s ‘Age of Transitions’, which suggested that several fundamental aspects of the container sector would be noticeably different in a relatively short space of time. Some of this transition has been driven by circumstance, such as the Ukraine/Russia conflict and Israel/Hamas/Houthi/Red Sea situation. These events have led to temporary workarounds within the container shipping system, many of which are exhibiting degrees of permanence. As a result, what were once considered ‘abnormal’ situations are now the new ‘normal’. Additionally, we are seeing the embedding of other new realities. Accelerated by both new and upcoming regulations, plus a push from the shippers’ sector, the energy transition is now a reality, despite still having teething problems.
