NOL's capacity still a worry in 2013

The 10% increase in capacity remains a daunting supply.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

2013 a stepping stone to potentially plump 2014
Capacity still a worry, but light in sight. Our negative outlook was previously premised on overcapacity and a neutral-negative demand outlook. With demand now potentially jumpstarted following the EU and US economic stimuli, the oversupply situation looks partially mitigated.

This however, doesn’t mask the fact that a 10% increase in capacity in 2013 will remain a daunting supply situation especially when we remain skeptical of liner co-operation to boost freight.

2014 looks a much brighter prospect, with a more subdued 4% increase YoY in container vessel capacity, and we see this as a clear milestone for liners to look forward to profitability. It is this potential for plump profits that we’re urging investors to make an early entry rather than miss out on.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
