Interesting to note - the change in interest rates therefore has an impact on the size of ship engines, with lower interest rates resulting in smaller engines (or perhaps engines being run at more efficient speeds in terms of fuel consumption)
- bkor 12y agoIt way more directly influences by the bunker rates. Maybe various for a lot of the cargo it makes most sense to have the container vessel sail quicker. However, that's not taken into account while deciding between shipping lines. Further, a shipping line has loads of cargo. Some high value and time critical, some not at all. Look at historical bunker prices to get an idea. I couldn't find a good link, but the USD/barrel is a nice indication: http://www.infomine.com/investment/metal-prices/crude-oil/all/ http://www.infomine.com/investment/metal-prices/crude-oil/al...
