Maersk raises profit guidance on strong demand and Red Sea disruption
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Shipping group Maersk raised its full-year profit guidance after reporting first-quarter earnings on Thursday, citing strong demand and higher freight rates as ships sail for longer to avoid conflict in the Red Sea. The company, viewed as a barometer of world trade, said that shipping disruptions caused by Houthi militants' attacks on vessels in the Red Sea were expected to last at least until the end of the year, adding that growth in demand for container shipping had been stronger than forecast. "The container volumes we see today are quite high compared to GDP growth in the world economy," said CEO Vincent Clerc.

Investors wait to see Red Sea in shippers' Q1 numbers
European shipping firms Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd are unlikely to get a big boost from soaring freight rates due to the Red Sea crisis in the first quarter, reinforcing worries about overcapacity in the long run. Spot freight rates tripled to almost $3,500 a container after vessels began avoiding the Red Sea due to attacks by Houthi militants, the Freightos Baltic Index showed. That compares to the pandemic peak of $13,559, at a time when shippers ordered new vessels in a move that later caused overcapacity, according to Stifel analyst Marc Zeck.
