Red flags are emerging for car carriers in the 2026/27 period. The projected supply growth is anticipated to reach significant double-digit figures during this time, indicating a potential downturn in both time charter rates and asset values. The situation suggests a correction trend that may see values revert back to long-term historical averages.
