Rising Intermodal Transport to Stoke Demand for Container Fleet

Intermodal transport refers to shipping intermodal containers, which include large steel containers. The intermodal transportation offers better efficiency and is able to carry more containers on a daily basis. With the rising demand for intermodal containers, the demand for container fleet has increased in response. In addition, the rising demand for refrigerated cargo shipping had positive impact on the global container fleet market. As refrigerated cargoes are used for shipping fresh vegetables, fruits, and even meat, their demand is expected to rise in the coming years. This in turn will boost the global container fleet market.

In the last few years, overseas freight transportation has shaped into a large market. It is also growing due to the rising need for intercontinental transportation of various items by the sea route. As transportation via sea has continued remaining cheaper and safer, the demand has remained high over the years. Spurred by these factors, the demand for container fleet is expected to rise in the coming years.

Requirement of Huge Investment could Restrain Growth

On the downside, the availability of ports or terminals with container facility may have an adverse impact on the global container fleet market. The handling of containers in port requires special skills and techniques in order to minimize the risk of damage. Not all ports across the world provide sophisticated techniques to handle containers, which is limiting the scope for the expansion of the container fleet market. Besides this, venturing into the market needs high capital investment, which fails luring many investors.
