Message from
Group Managing Director
In 2025, we expect a year full of uncertainties as geopolitical risks persist amid wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, while trade barriers between the EU, the US and China reshape supply chains. A new round of restructuring of shipping alliances in container shipping adds more uncertainty. Similar to last year, industry analysts forecast a low single-digit growth in global container trade in 2025.
