Stability and prospects with Neele-Vat

Rises and falls in rates
The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) recently reported a decline in the rate from Shanghai to Europe, from $5051 to $4991 per TEU. The Freightos Baltic Index and the World Container Index also showed similar trends. This drop followed an early high season, in which Western importers began shipping Christmas supplies as early as May(ICIS Explore)(Shanghai Shipping Exchange).

Disruptions and tariff levels
Despite these declines, rates remain high due to ongoing disruptions, such as the conflicts in the Red Sea that necessitate shipping through the Cape of Good Hope. Drewry predicts that these disruptions will keep rates high for the foreseeable future. Rates on the Shanghai-Rotterdam route are now 539% higher than a year ago(Container News)(MacroV).
