Unified container shipping industry data from 1966: Freight rate, shipping quantity, newbuilding, secondhand, and scrap price

The authors construct a new unified panel dataset that combines route-year-level freight rates with shipping quantities for the six major routes and industry-year-level newbuilding, secondhand, and scrap prices from 1966 (the beginning of the industry) to 2009. They offer detailed instructions on how to merge various datasets and validate the data’s consistency by industry experts and former executives who have historical knowledge and experience. Using this dataset, they provide a quantitative and descriptive analysis of the industry dynamics known as the container crisis. Finally, they identify structural breaks for each variable to demonstrate the impact of the shipping cartels’ collapse.
