Moody’s Changes US Ports Outlook to Positive

Moody’s Investors Service has changed its outlook for the U.S. ports to stable from negative as container volumes continue to recover.

Moody’s expects U.S. container volumes to rise 2%-3% in 2015, tracking growth in the U.S. economy. The slow but steady recovery in U.S. container volumes will enter its fifth consecutive year in 2015, after declines during the recession. Container growth supports port credit strength by increasing the revenues from the volume-based fees the ports charge shipping lines.

Meanwhile, business conditions for the global shipping lines, the ports’ largest customers, have stabilized, and growth in shipping capacity will drop in 2016, which will help support prices, according to Moody’s.

穆迪投资者服务公司对美国港口前景表示乐观

    随着集装箱量的继续恢复,穆迪投资者服务公司已经改变了对美国港口的消极看法。

    通过跟踪美国经济的增长进程,穆迪公司预计美国2015年的集装箱量会增长2%-3%。集装箱量在经济衰退期下降之后,2015年将迎来第五个缓慢而稳定的复苏年。随着与货量有关的费收收入的增加,集装箱量的增长带动了港口信贷水平发展。

    与此同时,穆迪公司称,适于全球航运公司发展的商业环境已经稳定,并且在2016年货运能力的增长将会下降,这将有助于支撑价格上涨。
