European Association for Forwarding, Transport, Logistics and Customs Services (CLECAT): SHIPPING RATES TO REMAIN HIGH DESPITE HINTS OF END TO PEAK SEASON (23.08.2024)
According to industry experts shipping market remains in a state of flux as a result of geopolitical tensions. Key indicators have shown that rates are starting to fall, suggesting the end to a peak season, but rates still remain higher than they were in 2023. The Shanghai Containerised Freight Index, which tracks the spot market on one of trade’s most important routes, was over $3500 for a twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) in June 2024, compared to just over $950/TEU at the same point last year. The Drewery World Container Index decreased 2% to $5,428 per 40ft container, with spot rates along most major routes falling or holding steady. Even with the fall, Drewery’s index is still 282% more than the average 2019, pre-pandemic rate of $1,420. And though some carriers will reportedly introduce rate increases in mid-August, easing demand and increased capacity for this lane have many doubtful that rate increases will stick.
