This overview is a pure rollup over the same data behind our deep analytics pages — it fetches no new source, so it can never drift from them. Fleet, age and orderbook come from our tracked fleet and the orderbook feed; secondhand pricing is the outlier-screened trailing-365d median $/dwt; the freight index is shown under our own generic name (CONTAINER and GAS have no licensed index today and are left blank). Figures are honest to the underlying sample — a thin segment is flagged. Computed 2026-06-23.
