Drewry’s World Container Index increased +1% to
$2,309 per 40ft container this week mainly driven by rising rates on the Transpacific & Transatlantic trade routes
Spot rates from Rotterdam to New York jumped +25% to
$1,968 per 40ft box this week, breaking the usual trend of stability in the Transatlantic. The primary catalyst for this increase is a -13% m/m contraction in available ocean capacity for April
On the Transpacific route, spot rates from Shanghai to New York increased +7% to
$3,671 per 40ft container, while those to Los Angeles rose +9% to
$2,910
