Product Description
The Container Freight Rate Insight is a bi-monthly publication containing a unique, continuous source of market freight rates.
Whereas the dry bulk and tanker shipping sectors have transparent market prices and indices, competitive container shipping freight rates have traditionally been opaque to market participants and to financial institutions involved in liner shipping, particularly since the withdrawal of liner conferences from their former joint price-setting role.
However, following requests from shippers, it has created 150 sets of port region-to-port region container freight rate benchmarks, together with regional and global freight rate indices
What the freight rate benchmarks and indices are:
The bi-monthly port-to-port and region-to-region rate benchmarks are US dollar-based averages of container freight rate benchmarks between specific port pairs or sub-region pairs (for example, South China to US East Coast); rate benchmarks for 150 “port pairs” or “sub-region pairs” are provided;
The bi-monthly rate indices are US dollar-based weighted averages of multiple container freight rate benchmarks, aggregated by major region (Europe and the US) and for the two major regions combined;
The weekly rate benchmarks for the transpacific are US dollar-based averages, minimums and maximums of five monitored carriers’ eastbound container freight rates from Hong Kong to Los Angeles and New York.
The rate benchmarks represent spot market rates for Full Container Loads charged by freight forwarders for a particular month or week. They are affected by seasonal and short-term supply-demand factors, notably by the peak season in the trades from Asia.
