Container shipping markets in the Americas are reviewed in the light of the global trend to increasing ship sizes. The arterial trades and slot capacity (transpacific and transatlantic)
This new study from OSC presents a full update and revision of the outlook for the regional port markets in the Americas together with a review of the structure of shipping operations as they rapidly evolve to meet this demand.
