Between January and April, more than 1 MEVP has already been delivered this year and the dismantling of container ships is once again limited. Between 2019 and 2023, the fleet will have increased by 21% while transport volumes have only increased by 4%.
In 2023, 2.3 MEVP were delivered, surpassing the historical precedent by 37%. Since the beginning of the year, in just four months, more than 1 MEVP has been received in four months, an increase of almost 80% compared to the previous record, according to the shipowners association Bimco. At the same time, ship recycling has achieved only 19 ships so far, as well as a small tonnage.
There are 2 MEVPs to be delivered this year
As 1.8 MEVP are contracted in 2023 and 2024, the order book at this stage includes 6.1 MEVP, or 21% of the operational fleet. No fewer than 2 MEVPs are to be delivered in 2024 and nearly as many in 2025.
