The record car carrier market is showing no sign of hitting the brakes — and rates may even surge to $150,000 per day, according to one analyst.
Daniel Nash, head of vehicle carriers and ro-ros at VessesValue, said the sector went into overdrive in mid-August after Nissan extended a $100,000 per day rate on Eastern Pacific Shipping’s 6,178-teu Lake Geneva (built 2015) just four weeks into the one-year deal.
