As production and demand wax and wane across the world, liner shipping networks must be constantly adjusted due to seasonal shifts in demand and to ensure that they are compatible with the current state of the world economy. Shipping lines must add, remove and modify existing routes in their network in order to keep it relevant for their customers. When a shipping line decides to change its network, vessels must be moved between services in order to realize the changes. The process of moving vessels in such a manner is called Repositioningrepositioning. Shipping lines perform one or two large network changes requiring repositionings each year, along with several smaller repositionings throughout the year.
