Liner business conditionsIndustry:• FY2013 industry oversupply, freight rate volatility

• Transpacific rate increases moderated by fragile global economy

• Intra-Asia trade relatively robust, faces cascading risk

• Asia-Europe rate gains shortened by weak demand

• Bunker prices trending lower

APL:• Profit focus, efficiencies & cost discipline remain key

• Stricter capacity management, as necessary
