Drewry WCI recovers as exporters rush ahead of new tariffs
Drewry World Container Index rose 1.84 per cent to $2,208 per FEU amid a shift in shipping demand, especially from Asia to the US, ahead of new tariffs. Despite the rise, the index remains well below its 2021 peak. Rates on Transpacific routes increased. Tariff-related volatility and recent sailing cancellations have reversed the long-standing downward trend in freight rates.
