The maritime containerization market is heavily influenced by economic conditions, with 2009 proving particularly challenging, although a return to growth has already been noted on Far East routes to the US and Europe. The Asia-Pacific and European regions dominate the maritime containerization market, and economic recovery will trigger enhanced transportation activity between ports in these regions.

Improvements are coming from increased trade activity with suppliers in Asia, and a higher volume of goods transported. Growing environmental awareness is expected to result in an increase in sea traffic, as companies seek ‘greener’ alternatives to expensive air and road transport. The adoption of new technologies which enhance efficiency and speed, including satellite tracking and automated handling, as well as improvements to existing pollution control systems and the availability of alternative sources of fuel are expected to enhance growth.
