The ratio of container TEU capacity on-order compared to the trading fleet dropped below 20% in June, reports Braemar Seascope. The broker advises that, as the container industry is expected to take delivery of record volumes of TEU capacity this year, the order book to trading ratio has eroded to approximately 20% in June 2013. Jonathan Roach, Container Market Analyst at Braemar Seascope, said, “With more than 1.7 million TEU expected to be delivered in 2013, the ratio is set to fall to approximately 16% by the end of the year. During the six year ordering boom between 2003 and 2008, in the region of 10 million TEU of containership capacity was ordered. The order book ratio peaked at approximately 60% in 2007, when in excess of 3 million TEU was ordered.
