We expect the heavy-lift and multipurpose market to remain very strong in 2022 with demand outnumbering supply due to various factors. Amongst these are surging container volumes, the pandemic, and the fleet structure.
One currently prominently observed phenomenon is the container “hype”, directly or indirectly driven by a sustained increase in consumer spending, which will continue to influence the multi-purpose market throughout the course of 2022.
Needless to say, the demand for container capacities contributes to the lack of MPV tonnage.
