The forecast of liquid bulk tankers in Germany, measured in Million Gross Tonnage, shows a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the tanker fleet stood at a higher level than in the forecast year 2024, signaling an ongoing reduction in capacity. From 2024 to 2025, the fleet is expected to decrease slightly, with a more pronounced decline noted each subsequent year, leading to a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that underscores the steady contraction in this sector.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential advancements in technology affecting tanker efficiency and capacity needs.
- Changes in global trade dynamics, especially involving Germany’s key trade partners.
- Environmental regulations impacting the operations and number of liquid bulk tankers.
- Shifts in energy consumption patterns affecting liquid bulk transportation demand.
