Rates Are Up 34% in One Month. And Carriers Are Still Blanking Sailings.
The Containerized Freight Index closed at 2,571 points on June 3rd β up 34% in just one month. Up 24% compared to the same time last year.
And carriers aren't releasing capacity. Eight blank sailings announced on Transpacific routes next week alone. Demand is being pulled forward into June ahead of the July 1st bunker fuel adjustment.
Early peak season. Tighter capacity. Rising rates. All three running at the same time.
For container owners β the market is firing on all cylinders. π¦π’π
