Core Viewpoint - The sinking of the "Morning Midas" car carrier has highlighted the risks associated with transporting electric vehicles by sea, particularly regarding lithium battery fires, and has raised concerns about the adequacy of current shipping practices and regulations in the industry [1][8][11]. Group 1: Incident Overview - The "Morning Midas" car carrier sank on June 23 after a fire led to flooding, carrying approximately 3,159 vehicles, including 65 electric vehicles and 681 hybrid vehicles [1][3]. - The vessel had departed from Yantai Port on May 26 and was scheduled to arrive in Mexico on June 15 [1]. Group 2: Industry Context - Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) ships like the "Morning Midas" are specialized for transporting vehicles, but they have been involved in multiple fire incidents in recent years, raising concerns about safety [2]. - The shipping industry is currently facing a mismatch between the rapid growth of electric vehicle exports and the availability of suitable vessels for their transport [11][22]. Group 3: Technical Aspects of Transporting Electric Vehicles - Two primary methods exist for transporting electric vehicles: using containers or specialized RoRo ships. The latter allows for easier loading but poses higher risks if a fire occurs [4][5]. - The design of RoRo ships may not adequately account for the unique risks posed by lithium batteries, which can ignite under certain conditions, leading to severe fires that are difficult to extinguish [10][12]. Group 4: Market Dynamics - The current shipping market is characterized by a lack of vessels designed for the safe transport of electric vehicles, leading to increased risks and potential losses for shipping companies and manufacturers [11][22]. - The incident reflects broader issues in the shipping industry, including the dominance of British firms in maritime insurance and ship classification, which may complicate claims and liability processes for Chinese companies involved [14][26][28]. Group 5: Future Opportunities - The rise of Chinese companies in the shipping industry, particularly in shipbuilding and logistics, presents an opportunity to address the current inadequacies in the market and improve safety standards for transporting electric vehicles [22][25]. - Recent developments, such as the launch of advanced car carriers by Chinese firms, indicate a shift towards better-equipped vessels that can mitigate the risks associated with transporting electric vehicles [23][24].

V. Demand and European Economy - The demand on the China - US route has increased rapidly after the reduction of Sino - US tariffs. The industrial production index, import and export data, consumer confidence index, and retail sales data of the EU 27 countries are important factors affecting the demand for shipping [2].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The top of the freight rate has likely been reached, as Maersk's freight rate for the first week of the second half of July remained unchanged, and MSC's freight rate for the second half of July also remained the same as the first half. It is necessary to monitor the freight rate follow - up of other shipping companies, especially the PA Alliance [4]. - During the off - season, the EC2510 contract can be sold on rallies for hedging when the freight rate is falling [5]. 3.

For example, Gemini Cooperation's Maersk Shanghai - Rotterdam price in week 29 is 1780/2980; HPL's quotes vary for different shipping periods. MSC + Premier Alliance and Ocean Alliance also have their own price quotes [1]. - **US Routes**: Earlier, the supply and demand of the US routes both increased, and the supply recovered rapidly. The freight rates on the US East and West routes have fallen from their highs. The weekly average capacity of the Shanghai - US East and West routes in June was 350,000 TEU, 243,400 TEU in May, 359,000 TEU in July, and 299,000 TEU in August.

III. Shipping Capacity - **European Routes**: The monthly average weekly capacity of the Shanghai - European base ports was 261,900 TEU in July and 269,900 TEU in August. There were 8 blank sailings in July (5 by the OA Alliance and 3 by the MSC/PA Alliance) and 2 in August (both by the OA Alliance). The decrease in capacity in July was mainly due to the skipping of Shanghai ports by MSC's ALBATROS route from week 28 to week 31, with a reduction of about 15,000 TEU of allocated shipping capacity [3]. IV. Freight Rate Analysis - **European Routes**: The freight rate top has likely emerged. Historically, the Shanghai - European base port freight rate generally peaked around week 34.
