Abstract Trans-ocean liner shipping companies adopt slow steaming during periods when the market is characterised by low demand, high fuel prices, low freight rates and overcapacity. The most recent instance in which this occurred was the period following the 2008/2009 global financial crises, and the speeds have not yet rebounded to the pre-crisis levels. Most of the existing research regarding slow steaming takes environmental, economic and maritime engineering perspectives, meaning that the phenomenon is studied from the viewpoint of ship owners. The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of slow steaming from the shipper's perspective.
Highlights This paper explores the effects of slow steaming from the shipper's perspective. Six Swedish companies acting globally were studied; the data from the case companies have been collected through face-to-face interviews. The results of the study show that reliability has been regarded as more important than the sailing time itself.
