Intra-Mediterranean container trade dissected by Dynamar

The third edition of Dynamar’s unique “Intra‐Europe (2013) Container Trades” is all about the more than 170 services operated by 40 different shipping companies deploying 275 container, ro-ro and multipurpose ships with container capacities of 400 to 3,000 teu that populate the intra and coastal all Mediterranean waters.

Through nearly 100 ports in 24 countries, they serve some 700m people with frequencies of up to 12 times per month, carrying an average of 275,000 full teu of regional trade and feeder boxes every week.

The report dissects the intra-Mediterranean container trade between the Gibraltar Straits and the Suez Canal and forecasts that the 2015 volume of the total Intra-Mediterranean full container trade (regional trade and feeder boxes) will reach 15.6m teu, up from 14.9m teu in 2013, and growing to 17.1m teu by 2017.
