* According to the source, this statistic reflects the expected fleet after provision for future scrappings and delivery slippage, based on the following assumptions:
- Slippage : 25 ships for 200,000 teu planned for delivery in 2017 are assumed to be delayed to the following year.
- Scrappings and de-cellings are estimated to reach 200,000 teu in 2016.
Based on orderbook as of January 1, 2017 and assuming no ships are deleted after that date (other than those planned).
