The container feeder market shows strong resistance
CDelivery of ontiner feeders has proven to be one of the most attractive niche markets in this industry. In a recent report, the Shipbroker Intermodal commented that “In the container shipping market dominated by headlines about large ships and order books that break the record, the feeder segment often escapes the center of attention. However, because the industry is not in greater things in greater things, and greater narratives.
According to Mr. Yiannis Parganas, Head of Research Department, “The contrast between feeders and the broader container market is strikes. Across all containership sizes, the orderbook-to-fleet ratio sits at nearly 30%, with the 12,000–16,999 teu class reaching an eye-watering 44%. Ordering Spree, Largely Concentrated in the Neo-Panamax and Ultra-Large Segments, is set to inject a significant new capacity into the market for the next two years.

What makes the feeder market stand out is its ability to operate somewhat outside the pull of global megatren gravity. Compared to larger larger ship classes, feeders appear to be almost a fight, operating under a different series of fundamentals. While operators that cannot be suspended, and unparable reflections, and unparable domains, and Rene formed by Ranen, and Rene formed by discipline. Fundamental Market Feeder attracts new interests, and this developing recognition is now translated into action, with more owners distracting their attention to this sector. Sustainable forces and strategic interests, driven by constraints of structural supplies and tough regional demand, “Mr. Parganas concluded.
