Highly cyclical nature of the container shipping industry. Volatile profitability due to volatile fuel costs and frequent oversupply. Competition risk from its larger peers due to its limited operating scale. Fair market position supported by its leading share in the niche Intra-Asia container shipping market. Good operational efficiency. Significant volatility in the company's financial metrics. Intermediate debt leverage. Relatively conservative financial policy compared with those of its peers. Strong liquidity. The stable outlook reflects our view that a mild increase in freight rates and Wan Hai's leading market share in the relatively stable intra-Asia market will help maintain its leverage and cash flow protection measures at a level consistent with the current rating over the next one to two years.
