ποΈ Drewry's Global Container Port Throughput Index confirms February throughput was up 6.4% year-on-year. Hormuz closed. Red Sea shut. Bunker costs near record. And volumes are still growing.
The Containerized Freight Index is also up 45% year-on-year as of May 11 (Trading Economics).
This confirms what the data keeps showing: cargo is still moving. Shippers are absorbing higher costs and longer routes because they have no alternative. The demand base for container assets is structurally larger today than 12 months ago β and it's still growing.
For container investors: growing port throughput means more containers cycling through the system, more dwell time, more utilization. The volume story remains intact regardless of rate volatility.
