World Liner Supply quarterly reports calculate the up-to-date ship capacity of each alliance, carrier, service and trade route on the 12 trade lanes operating between Asia, Europe, North America and South America. The reports cover all the liner services in a trade and gives a timely analytical assessment of total capacity supply from quarter to quarter that reflects changes in services or in the number or size of the ships deployed.

    World Liner Supply reports are published based on vessel deployment data for the first of January. April, July and October and are available by on the 15th day of the month. The reports will be automatically distributed to licensees by e-mail in Excel 2007 format. (The reports are currently also available in Excel 2003 format on request.)

    The World Liner Supply reports are pivot tables sent within an Excel 2007 workbook, showing the capacity and frequency for each service and alliance for the current quarter and previous quarter, as well as the percentage change.

    The reports feature a unique analytical summary of service changes and fleet changes by trade, including a highlight of carriers that have adjusted capacity the latest quarter. The summary shows the services added, withdrawn or restructured.
