The delivery of one out of every five containerships due for delivery during the last three months was postponed, said the Baltic and International Maritime Council, a shipping association based in Denmark. While the container shipping segment was hardest hit, one in six new ships of all kinds is being delivered at a later date than was originally agreed. … Zim postponed delivery by almost six years of a mega container carrier of 10,070 20-foot equivalent units capacity.
