Intermodal Europe 2018 steers the way for the global container shipping industry

With the global container shipping market currently estimated to be worth $4 trillion and representing almost two thirds the value of total global trade, there have been a number of significant changes over the last few years. In an industry of constant movement, both literally and figuratively, trends are pointing towards a more balanced market between supply and demand within the container segment. The coming year is forecast to see steady overall market growth, the implementation of technological benefits to increase transparency and profitability, the introduction of new tariffs, and further carrier consolidation.
