Container rates saw limited movement last week, partly due to national holidays in many countries. The Asia to Mediterranean route stood out, with some shipping lines raising prices by up to $1,000 per FEU, set to take effect soon. Meanwhile, ongoing uncertainty around Donald Trump’s tariffs, with recent court reversals, is expected to keep the market volatile. Several liner companies have started increasing prices on all ex-China routes ahead of the end of the 90-day tariff pause, signaling potential broader rate hikes soon, as reported by Baltic Exchange.
