Container transport contracts <\/b>are still decreasing. This was stated a few weeks ago by Xeneta, the leading benchmarking platform for shipping rates, which released <\/span>data for the August period<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the analysis carried out by Xeneta, the level of rates for container transport contracts in the reported month fell by a further 7.8%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is, in particular, the data released.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Analyses in detail<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When considered in relation to the previous month,<\/span> the largest decline was in contracts for imports to the US, -14.9%.<\/b>\u00a0 Contracts for imports to Europe declined by 3.4%, resulting in an overall fall of 60.1% compared to the previous year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Contracts for exports from the Far East also declined, down 14.2%. And in terms of trade routes?<\/span><\/p>\n

The largest decline was recorded on the <\/span>Shanghai-Rotterdam route<\/b>, which fell by 4%. Freight rates on the Shanghai-Genoa route fared better, however, recording a decline of only 1%.<\/span><\/p>\n

These figures confirm a trend that has been going on for some time and which could signify the need for shippers to renegotiate their contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reefer containers VS dry cargo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another interesting piece of data that completes the picture of container shipping comes from the Reefer Shipping Annual Review and Forecast, published a few weeks ago by UK-based maritime consultancy Drewry.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span>report<\/span><\/a>, it appears that <\/span>reefer container transport<\/b>s have decreased from their peak in the third quarter of 2022, but at a slower pace when compared to dry cargo shipping.<\/span><\/p>\n

The average rates of the top 15 international carriers dedicated to reefer shipping are reported to have fallen by 22% over the year, yet remain above pre-pandemic levels by around 60%.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company’s overview for 2024 predicts rates still above pre-Covid levels, with a more moderate gradual decrease for reefer containers than for dry cargo.<\/span><\/p>\n
