Drewry: Appetite for greenfield container port projects returns

There is an increased appetite for higher-risk greenfield projects from global terminal operators as they seek to deliver long-term growth according to the latest report from Drewry.

Container shipping’s post-pandemic recovery has boosted the global terminal capacity outlook, with projections for an annual rise of 2.4% to reach 1.38bn teu by 2026.

However, the worsening economic and geopolitical situation has led to a downgrading of the cargo demand outlook.
