  • Shipping The Global Shipping 40-foot Container Composite Index reached $2,557/unit in the second week of January 2026, a 16% increase compared with the last assessment, in the last week of December.
  • This stems from rate increases on Transpacific and Asia-Europe routes, according to sources, as carriers hiked Freight All Kinds (FAK) rates.
  • Despite the rate increase this week, sources state that oversupply remains an issue, owing to fleet growth in 2025, and expect this to be a persistent issue in 2026.
  • Market players anticipate an easing of US-tariff-related instability, though uncertainty persists.
