Rates to Los Angeles rose 6% to $2,438 per 40-foot container, while those to New York climbed 4% to $3,568. On the Asia-Europe routes, rates from Shanghai to Rotterdam increased 3% to $1,795 per 40-foot container, and rates to Genoa rose 5% to $1,955.<br><br>According to Drewry, the rate increases are being driven by the implementation of General Rate Increases (GRIs) scheduled for November 1. On the Asia-Europe trade route, carriers are introducing increased Freight All Kinds (FAK) rates effective from November 1 in an attempt to elevate spot rates before the start of the new annual contract negotiation season.<br><br>However, Drewry expects the current momentum to be short-lived, with rates expected to decline soon after the GRI implementation.
