缓慢航行的背景 多种因素的综合作用导致过去两年对全球商船业的某些部门来说面临着巨大的挑战。这些因素包括： 全球经济低迷，导致运输能力需求减少。 全球新吨位订单量巨大，这是繁荣时期遗留下来的，导致新船交付量创历史新高。 全球金融危机。 船舶价值突然下跌。 燃料成本高。 运营成本增加（人员配置、润滑油、维护）。 运费下降，反过来也会影响租船费率。所有这些都让整个价值链——从货主到承运人、船舶管理公司、船东、金融机构和设备供应商——承受着巨大的压力。行业不得不迅速调整，导致新船订单大幅放缓、已确认订单取消、新船交付推迟、船舶闲置和闲置以及各种降低成本的措施。
Background for slow steaming A combination of factors have led to the past two years becoming hugely challenging for certain sectors of the global merchant shipping industry. Th ese factors include: Th e downturn in the global economy, resulting in reduced transportation capacity demand Th e substantial global order book for new tonnage, a legacy from the boom years, resulting in record-high deliveries of new ships Th e global fi nancing crisis Th e sudden fall in ship values High fuel costs Increasing operating costs (manning, lube oil, maintenance) Falling freight rates, which in turn also impacts charter rates. All of these things have put the entire value chain – starting from cargo owners to the carriers, ship managers, ship owners, fi nancing institutes and equipment suppliers – under big pressure. Th e industry has had to quickly adjust, which has resulted in a sharp slow-down in new ship orders, cancellations of already confi rmed orders, the delaying of new ship deliveries, layingup and idling of vessels, and all kinds of cost reduction measures.
