Industry Mitigating Actions
• Lines are bleeding – rates are being pushed up – that will continue in 2010
• Lines are closing loops and idling capacity to avoid overcapacity – that will continue, because of:
• High oil prices… again
• Capacity not carrier owned - redeliveries!!!!
• Slow steaming – industry wide slow steaming accelerating – again due to high oil prices
