The higher volume was achieved on the back of the on-going global economic recovery, which has generally improved global trade. The volumes on long haul routes continue to be strong; the new build container ships delivery market has been very active and ocean freight rates have nearly recovered to pre-crisis levels, pointing towards a sustainable growth in world trade ahead.
