11. Dynamar (2010) Reefer Analysis - Market Structure, Conventional, Containers
The latest edition of our Dynamar Reefer Analysis is available NOW! This fresh report constitutes a considera-
ble expansion of our previous studies on the subject. It now comprises three parts: two separate sections on
the different conventional and container reefer trades, these being based on an extensive write up on the
structure of the market.
Part I - Reefer market structure(s)
After a brief historical overview on the background and development of reefer shipping, this chapter provides
extensive overviews, statistics and concise descriptions of:
- The world perishable trades: volumes by main produce and export and import regions - transport
modes and characteristics - temperature settings - modern techniques
- Trading patterns: conventional ships versus container vessels - main export areas - exports by product
and individual country
- Major reefer ports: perishable exports by country - description of relevant reefer handling facilities by
mode of transportation - port throughput statistics
Part 2 - Conventional reefer shipping
Opens with the characteristics of the conventional reefer market, followed by a 3-year recent reefer seasons
(2010/2009/2008) review, including statistics and graphics of relevant time charter equivalents, as well as:
- Extensive conventional reefer ship overviews and statistics (existing fleet, orderbook, age profile, de-
molition, future development)
- Identically structured profiles of the world’s 15 largest conventional reefer ship operators, including
markets/trade lanes and operated fleet
Part 3 - Container reefer shipping
The introduction clarifies the main containerized reefer routes, invariably part of the South-North structure.
Furthermore, this section provides:
- Extensive overviews and statistics of the composition and development of the container fleet and or-
derbook, reefer TEU capacity, plugs/capacity ratios by size category, box fleet and refrigerated con-
tainer fleet by main carrier
- Inventory of container shipping services on the most relevant reefer routes
- Refrigerated container box fleet, size categories, production data, capacity by carrier
- Identically structured profiles of the world’s 15 largest reefer container carriers
Dynamar (2010) Reefer Analysis - Market Structure, Conventional, Containers uses the most recent FAO sta-
tistics on reefer commodity export and import data by country (7 consecutive years), supplemented with up-
to-date port, vessel, box and carrier fleet statistics and gives a profound insight into the background, character-
istics and goings of the worldwide shipping market of perishables and the relevant players.

12. SLOW STEAMING ...
A transient fashion or here to stay?
Slow Steaming encompasses the operation of vessels at slower than maximum commercial speed, while add-
ing a ship to the container service to keep the original frequency.
Certainly not a new issue, the Slow Steaming phenomenon has returned to the liner trades in full force since
2007. Initially, this was driven by the need of saving fuel costs, soon thereafter followed by other imperatives
of addressing over-capacity, reducing harmful emissions and ... empty pockets.
By mid-2008 half of the 31 North Europe-Far East slings had slowed down, plus a handful of others. An exten-
sive assessment in the publication shows that 2 years later, modern box vessels cruising slower than ships in
the era of sail can be found be found in all major East-West and North-South trades. The joint capacity of all
slowed down bottoms is nearly half of that of the total containership fleet, with the number of extra vessels
tight into the Slow Steaming services making up for some 8%.
Slow Steaming is a multi-faceted strategy, affecting many sectors of the liner trades and raising a multitude of
questions, including:
- the actual speed - the container box fleet
- the effect on the total fleet - the level of savings
- the logistics effect - the number of ships and carriers involved
- the possible alternatives - the scheduling and integrity of services
- the technical side of the matter - how it serves the environment
- what’s in it for the shipper, and the future of Slow Steaming once full recovery is present, capacity
tightens again, or fuel prices sink.
These topics and more are brought together in a unique, just published, comprehensive report:
SLOW STEAMING, A transient fashion or here to stay?
All information in this study, presented in the form of a wealth of tables and concise write-ups, has been col-
lected, researched and analysed in June/August 2010.
