3. Northern America - Asia route:
- Freight rate: Freight rates from North America (West Coast) to Asia this week increased slightly by 0.67% compared to the previous week, down to $1,040/FEU. This price increased by 0.87% compared to the previous month.
- Space: There is no big change in capacity in the market with very few blanked sailings as carriers prepare for the Lunar New Year. Stable for West Coast ports, and has improved in US East Coast ports.
- Empty container equipment: The shortage of container equipment is still making it difficult for goods to be transported from within the US, especially at major ports. Chicago remains the most reliable intermodal inland port (IPI) location. Kansas City and Memphis are seeing congestion related to container and trailer equipment challenges.
Recommendation: Shippers make reservations at least 4 weeks or more before estimated time of departure (ETD). For ready-made goods, importers may consider taking advantage of the available space and better spot market rates.
