Economy is bad for container traffic

According to the report by the Boston Consulting Group "Sailing in Strong Winds: The New Normal in Global Trade and Container Shipping", container carriers must use new strategies to increase efficiency under "new rules", which are characterized by slowing demand for container transportation.

"According to our estimates, Russian macro-economic factors such as decrease in the rate of GDP growth from 0.4% in 2014 to -3.7% in 2015 and the ruble devaluation had a significant impact on reduction of the Asian import volume" said Grigory Rubin, Partner and Managing Director of the Moscow office at the Boston Consulting Group.
