Box Trade Analyser (BTA) allows you to interrogate various datasets and be up-to-date with the most relevant changes in liner shipping; example of questions that the users might like an answer for are:

  • How has global trade changed in the last few years?
  • How much capacity is scheduled to be offered between Country A and Country B (and further, between Port X and Port Y) in the current quarter? And how does this differ from last quarter and from the same quarter last year?
  • What are the key features of the scheduled services?
  • What is the fleet capacity of the top 20 shipping lines and how much capacity do they have on order?
  • What is the capacity by fuel type?
  • How has the Port Calls Indicator (i.e. calls actually made/calls scheduled to be made) and the Timeliness Port Indicator (i.e. percentage of services arriving within 6 hours of mean arrival time) changed over time for the major ports and at the global level?
