reports on 25 September 2026 published the VHBS New ConTex Container Ship Time Charter Assessment Index for week 39, relaying commentary from the Verband Hamburger und Bremer Schiffsmakler e.V. on prevailing market conditions.
The bulletin carried the formal title VHBS New ConTex Container Ship Time Charter Assessment Index Week 39 and was dated 25 September 2026. The item distributed by reports sets out that the Verband provided the index update and accompanying observations.
The Verband Hamburger und Bremer Schiffsmakler e.V. is cited in the report and is credited with the commentary included in the summary. That commentary opens with the line: "Despite all the crises and uncertainty around us, it is quite remarkable how shipping markets in general have" and the supplied notes do not include the remainder of that sentence or any numerical index values.
The published note therefore identifies the index and records the Verband's reflective tone but the factual notes provided for this briefing do not contain week-on-week figures, averages or any specific time charter rates. Readers should consult the original VHBS publication or the reports posting for full numerical detail and tables.
