Port strike threat gone, trans-Pacific container rates level out

The threat of a longshore strike at East and Gulf Coast ports is gone, and trans-Pacific ocean container rates to the United States have leveled out, for now.

“Frontloading ahead of the possible January strike had helped keep North America container rates elevated into November but were no longer a driver of rates as the strike deadline got closer,” wrote Judah Levine, head of research for analyst Freightos, in a weekly update.

For the week ending Jan. 10, the Freightos Baltic Index found...

Container shipping from Asia to the US just got more expensive

Frontloading by shippers ahead of Lunar New Year helped boost container rates on trans-Pacific services to the United States as 2025 got underway.

“Transpacific container rates climbed sharply to start the year on GRIs [general rate increases] supported by pre-Lunar New Year demand,” wrote Judah Levine, head of research, in a weekly update for analyst Freightos.

The Freightos Baltic Index found Asia-U.S. West Coast prices increased 23% to $5,929 per forty-foot equivalent unit for the week ended...

Amid uncertain trade outlook, higher Asia-US container rates the only sure bet

Shippers continue to fuel upward movement in trans-Pacific container rates as 2025 approaches, and there are likely more increases on the way.

While frontloading by importers looking to beat tariffs threatened by President-elect Donald Trump on China goods helped U.S. gateways to record volumes in November, prices aren’t expected to decline all that much amid a host of looming factors in the coming weeks. 

Rates for containers moving from Asia to U.S. West Coast ports increased 8% to $4,825 per...

Port strike threat helps boost trans-Pacific container rates

A late-year freight surge has kept ocean container rates elevated on trans-Pacific routes to the United States.

Routes from Asia to the U.S. West and East coasts showed narrow increases for the week ending Dec. 20, according to shipping data analyst Freightos, and are about 15% higher than at the start of December, on midmonth general rate increases by carriers.

Asia-U.S. West Coast prices increased 4% to $4,452 per forty-foot equivalent unit for the week. Asia-U.S. East Coast prices were up 2%...

Freightos sees trans-Pacific container rates ease
