Analysis
Reflecting On Record Containership Earnings
Last week we reported on a milestone for the ClarkSea Index (May was the best month since before the
global Þnancial crisis), and this week we take a look at one of the key elements: the record breaking
performance in the containership sector. In recent weeks our Containership Charter Rate Index has
reached a new record level, surpassing the previous high seen back in 2005.
