Shippers brace for freight rate and BAF increase onslaught 

 

A definite end to rock-bottom freight rates could be in sight, as carriers take advantage of tight capacity management to launch rate restoration programmes across their networks in the next few weeks.

SHIPPERS BRACE FOR MARKET BOUNCE 

 

Containerised cargo volumes moved in the deep-sea container shipping market fell a further 2.5% during the final quarter of 2022, marking the traditionally busiest period of the year as the ‘peak season without a peak’. 

 

Volumes have fallen steadily in the early weeks of 2023 and world trade continues to stumble as economies grapple with persistent inflation and high energy prices, suppressing consumer demand for goods across nearly all economic sectors. 

 

On the demand side, many carriers and service providers are anticipating a recovery in demand in the second half of the year

2M axes Asia-North Europe loop, as carriers shop for more tonnage 

 

After successive weeks of blanking its AE1/Shogun Asia-North Europe loop, the 2M Alliance has finally confirmed that the service is to be suspended. 

 

It is the first alliance service on the trade lane to be officially culled and is likely to be followed by the removal of more in the weeks to come as ocean carriers try to mitigate the impact of significantly reduced demand.
