Latin America is increasing its share in container shipping capacity distribution, with more vessels allocated to routes between Asia and South America. This trend reflects changes in carrier strategies and international trade flows.
The expansion of the global fleet occurs in a context of uncertain freight rates and difficulties in schedule reliability. Port congestion, weather conditions, and route adjustments continue to affect logistics chain planning.
Looking ahead to 2027, the possible normalization of transit through the Suez Canal and the operating conditions of the Panama Canal could modify the global distribution of vessels. This scenario opens new perspectives for Latin America within maritime transport networks and international commercial connectivity.
