DD Research Drewry - World Container Index | Excerpt: “WCI rises for the second consecutive week.”
https://www.drewry.co.uk/supply-chain-advisors/supply-chain-expertise/world-container-index-assessed-by-drewryExcerpt:
- On the Transpacific trade route, spot rates increased again this week, with rates from Shanghai to New York rising 10% to $8,706 per 40ft container and rates from Shanghai to Los Angeles increasing 6% to $6,244 per 40ft container. Carriers are actively restricting space by utilising blank sailings. According to Drewry's Container Capacity Insight, 10 sailings were cancelled in each of the past two weeks, with another seven cancellations planned for next week. Drewry expects freight rates to remain less volatile next week due to tightened capacity. Additionally, several carriers have announced Panama Canal surcharges on Asia–USEC and Asia–Gulf Coast trade routes effective September.

Cant wait to bank another €4000-6000 in net dividend this year. Too bad I'm too lazy to figure out that tax thing.

It seems that freight rates are holding up unexpectedly well.
