Drewry WCI rises 2.6% on tariff issues, lower shipping capacity
Drewry World Container Index rose 2.58 per cent to $2,265 per FEU on April 10, driven by tariff-related disruptions and reduced capacity. Rates increased on major Asia-Europe and transpacific routes, while US-Asia rates remained stable or declined. The index is still 78 per cent below its 2021 peak but 59 per cent above 2019 levels. Drewry expects further rate increases in the coming weeks.
