TRENDS IN CONTAINER SHIPPING GEBUNDEN

In the tradition of the Liner Shipping Conferences in the eighties  the Institute of Shipping
Economics and Logistics organised again a Maritime Conference in Bremen. The aim of the
conference in December 2008 was to analyse and to forecast the trends and perspectives of the
international container shipping market. The international shipping industry and the global
container shipping market have recently seen some of the most successful years in history.
Excellent employment and high charter rates initiated a very strong order boom  especially in
the highest size classes of 8.000 TEU to 12.000 TEU vessels and beyond. This development of
accelerated fleet expansion met a cooling down period in global economy as a consequence of the
worldwide financial crisis. The implications for the international trade markets have also
affected the shipping industry and the container shipping market. Against this background the
main topics of the Maritime Conference 2008 were: World economy  trade and shipping  vessel
size development and its implications  implications of market growth on ports and hinterland 
financing and taxation aspects.
