Xeneta Specialized Market Report | January 2023
CEI Analysis

In total, the number of reefers fell by 13%, slightly less than 100 000 TEU during Jan-Nov 2022, compared to a year earlier. This is the second year in a row that demand has dropped. After peaking in 2020, volumes fell by 4% in 2021. Read more
