Market fundamentals and sector outlook

• Mid-size and smaller containership segments are aging, with median age of oldest quartile ranging from 21–28 years.

• Sub-10,000 TEU fleet has seen under-investment, creating renewal opportunities as demand grows for flexible ships.

• Global containership orderbook is growing, but sub-10,000 TEU segment shows only 0.7% implied net growth through 2030 if older ships are scrapped.

• Market fundamentals remain supportive for targeted fleet segments despite overall orderbook growth.

• Decarbonization regulation uncertainty reduces the value of delaying fleet renewal.
