Drewry WCI inches up, container freight rates jump 59% in 4 weeks
Drewry WCI rose 0.45 per cent to $3,543 per FEU on June 12, marking a 59 per cent increase in four weeks. Transpacific rates surged as US-bound traffic resumed following President Trump’s pause on import tariffs. Rates to New York and Los Angeles rose sharply, while those to Europe remained stable. However, Drewry forecasts a rate decline in H2 2025 amid uncertain tariff policies and capacity shifts.
