To our importers & exporters
Looking at another market, spot container rates from Asia to European ports according to the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index soared in the week ending Nov. 1. Both Mediterranean and northern European lanes saw rates increase of between $700 and $800 per 20-foot-equivalent unit, following a general rate increase (GRI).
This GRI is viewed as a success by the carriers & unlike the case in the unsuccessful GRI of last Sept.1. Initially, this GRI was higher than anticipated, but the market is expected to slow down during the month of November, as the fundamentals have not changed enough to warrant rates
at this level.
The spot rate from Shanghai to
Mediterranean ports jumped 111.7 percent or $791 from the week before to $1,499 per TEU, up from $708, according to the latest SCFI data issued by the Shanghai Shipping Exchange.
This was a rebound from the recent 10-week slump in which rates fell by a composite $788 per TEU. The SCFI to the Mediterranean is now up 42.1 percent
year-over-year and up 29.4 percent from Jan. 1.
The spot rate from Shanghai to northern European ports for the week ending Nov. 1 climbed 112.4 percent or $753 from the week before, when it sat at $670 per TEU, reaching $1,423. The SCFI rate to northern Europe for the week ending Nov.1 is 4.6 percent below where it was at the same point in 2012, but 12.0 percent higher than at the beginning of 2013.
The Nov. 1 GRI on the Asia-Europe lanes was relatively successful thus far. OOCL, Hapag Lloyd, United Arab Shipping Co., Zim Integrated Shipping Services, Evergreen, CMA CGM, and ANL had all proposed increases of between $750 and $1,000 per TEU, while Maersk Line had set a minimum increase of $600 per TEU.
