This makes interesting reading for the U-Freight group with our strong presence in the global container shipping arena. Following three weeks of declines that pushed spot rates to their lowest level since January 2025, rates on the Transpacific headhaul finally recovered this week. Spot rates from Shanghai to Los Angeles climbed 8% to USD 2,256 per 40ft container, while those to New York rose 6% to USD2,895. Shifting away from traditional fortnightly adjustments, some carriers have adopted a weekly strategy for GRIs. Instead of announcing large hikes that tend to erode quickly, carriers are now introducing smaller, more frequent increases to maintain consistent upwards pressure on spot rates. This strategy appears to have been effective this week, leading Drewry to forecast stable rates in the week ahead."}
