By selecting a world region pair, you can see the trade flows measured in tonnes and estimated loaded maritime TEU for the most recent quarter available and compare it with the previous quarter and the same quarter in the previous year. The tab also provides a detailed commodity breakdown at Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) 2-digit level.

Data included:

• Totals by tonnes and TEU
• 7 world regions:  Australasia & Oceania, Europe & Mediterranean, Far East, Gulf & Indian Subcontinent, Latin America, North America and Sub-Saharan Africa

• 3 time periods (most recent quarter, previous quarter and same quarter in previous year)

By selecting a country pair or port pair you can see the list of liner services scheduled to be offered for the most recent quarter available and compare it with the previous quarter and the same quarter in the previous year. For each liner service, you will see the shipping lines operating the services, the average ship capacity (TEU), the scheduled quarterly capacity (TEU) and the regions served.

Data included:

• Country
• Port
• Shipping line 
• Average ship capacity (TEU)
• Scheduled capacity (TEU)
• Regions served

For the top 20 operators, you can see the current nominal capacity (TEU) split between owned and chartered, as well as capacity on order for the most recent quarter available and compare it with the previous quarter and the same quarter in the previous year. 

Data included:  

• Top 20 operators based on total fleet capacity (TEU) broken-down by: 

1. Capacity for owned vessels
2. Capacity for chartered vessels 
3. Capacity for vessels on-order 

• Chart of the number of vessels for the top 10 operators 
• Chart of the number of vessels by ship size

For any of the top 100 global container ports, you can see a chart showing the recent trends in its Port Calls Indicator (ratio between the calls actually made divided by the calls scheduled to be made) and its Timeliness Port Indicator (the percentage of services arriving within a +/- 6 hours window of mean arrival time). The indicators are shown as indices covering the last 5 quarters and provide a comparison for each port with the global average.
