If you are still looking for evidence of global economic slowing, then look no further than today’s announcement from Neptune Orient Lines stating that APL’s container volumes for the last 6 weeks of 2008 were down 24 percent compared to the prior year. According to the company, APL moved 218,000 FEUs in the six week period compared with 288,600 during the same period in 2007.
It’s getting pretty grim out there.
