Drewry Introduces New Container Shipping Market Signals Dashboard

Drewry has announced the introduction of a new, monthly-updated dashboard of key container shipping market indicators. The initiative aims to assist industry stakeholders in assessing the impact of market volatility on their operations, according to Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide.

Dashboard Features and Data Points

The Container Shipping Market Signals dashboard consolidates several key metrics that are essential for understanding market dynamics. These include the World Container Index, data on blank sailings, port congestion levels, global throughput figures, and fuel costs. Additionally, the dashboard incorporates various demand signals and other relevant indicators.

Drewry states that the dashboard translates these signals into actionable insights, offering recommendations tailored to different roles within the industry, such as shippers, carriers, and terminal operators. The platform is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the market, which Drewry notes is often pieced together from disparate sources by stakeholders.

Access and Availability

The new dashboard is accessible via Drewry's Container Freight Portal. For September 2026, the dashboard is available to all subscribers of Drewry's World Container Index, Port Throughput, and Logistics Executive Briefings. From October 2026 onwards, access will be restricted to subscribers of Drewry's container shipping services only, as reported by Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide.
