According to Braemar, the buying spree for small and mid-sized containerships is over.
Why the buying stopped
Recent years' demand for feeder vessels has addressed the structural capacity shortfall.
Lines must now be more selective when ordering new vessels.

This may impact ocean container rates — stabilization is expected.
For Uzbekistan, this means stabilization of long-distance sea freight prices.
