Fewer blank sailings forecast for 2021 as container capacity grows

ShipInsight - January 7, 2021

“Very few sailings have so far been cancelled for the Q2 2021 period, whereas in 2020, Q2 cancellations amounted to 14.7% of expected sailings.

Simon Sundboell, CEO of maritime and supply chain intelligence company eeSea, said, “In the first half of last year, blank sailings were widely considered as a way of managing capacity during the Covid-19 crisis. However, this is now being blamed for the unanticipated increase in freight rates and significant delays across the supply chain.”
