Container Shipping Planning Service (CSPS)

By challenging conventional wisdom, MSI's Container Shipping Planning Service (CSPS) quarterly report provides readers with a comprehensive, independent guide to medium-term container market interrelationships, complementing historical and forecast data from MSI's latest CSPS model scenario with in-depth text and charts highlighting and analysing market dynamics and forecast risks.

Each CSPS report contains analysis on:

  • Global macroeconomic conditions
  • Global container trade and movements by region
  • TEU lifts by type (primary/transshipment and full/empty) and by region
  • Trading efficiency factors, such as homogeneous weight, speed, trade availability and vessel size
  • Containership fleet developments by vessel size range
  • Scrapping, orderbook cancellation and slippage
  • Vessel earnings, operating costs and freight rates
  • Newbuilding and secondhand vessel prices

MSI's CSPS report is typically 60-80 pages long, comprising extensive commentary and charts coupled with data tables covering five-year historic and five-year forecasted annual timeseries. It is available as an annual subscription of four quarterly reports, or as a one-off purchase.
