​New Perspective for Western Europe and East Asia Trade

​Due to the last decades climate change the Northeast Passage becomes more available. The ice is melting and ships can go through without icebreakers assistance. Unexpectedly, it would be much more faster to carry cargo comparing to the shipping through Suez Canal, as it is being sailed through be around 17000 vessels annually when only 40 ships are heading north each year. The Northeast Passage shortens the route by 25-37%. Each year there more and more ships were noticed choosing this way during 2011-2016. The first ship to go through the arctic was Cosco's Yong Sheng in 2013, having arrived to Rotterdam in 9 days after departure from Shanghai. So far the only thing preventing the Passage from worldwide usage is a shallow bathymetry, which does not allow megaships going through, only vessels with 13 m depth with maximum cargo capacity of 4500 TEUs can use it for now, but Arctic route attracts more shippers to use it, and therefore more investment to come to fix it.

Global Container Volumes Grow by 7.7%

According to Alphaliner,  the port volumes recorded a 7.7% rise in aggregate throughput last time.  Alphaliner noticed that the strong  growth figures  at 7.4% and 5.8%  respectively, this information relies on survey, which covers more than 200 ports. In conclusion we can see the growth upwards estimate to 6.4% for 2017. All regions shows significant growth  this year and led by Latin American ports which recorded the highest growth rate of 10% in the third quarter of 2017. During this period Mexican ports like Manzanillo, Lazaro Cardenas, Veracrus and Altamira show  growth to  15.2%, the Panama port shows gain in  11.1%.

​Crowley and Puerto Rico recovering After Maria Hurricane

​Almost seven weeks passed after Maria hit but some are yet to feel the relief and ​recovery. With assistance of American Maritime Partnership there were additional vessels included into the Land-San Juan route to deliver more relief cargo to the island. 25 vessels more, and among them are container ships, RoRo and LoLo barges, offshore supply vessels. As the trade volume raised, domestic Puerto Rico shipping companies started adding additional ports of discharge to minimize the transit time. 53' containers were added to the routing and as it was reported on Nov 16th, by that moment the island has already accepted more than 36k containers of commercial and aid cargo.
