Freight rates, the maritime cycle and transport capacity in late 2006

The previous edition of the FAL bulletin presented the price indices of maritime transport in three main market segments. This edition includes an analysis of the maritime cycle and trends in the transport capacity of the routes that in turn serve the routes of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Maritime Transport Price Indices in Late 2006

Since the worldwide freight crisis that began in mid-2002, maritime transport prices have remained higher than pre-crisis levels and have proved to be fairly volatile. This edition of the Bulletin is the first one of the year to analyse maritime transport markets. It covers price trends in three maritime transport markets: containers, bulk carriers, and petroleum and refinery byproducts.
