According to the latest data from shipping consultancy Drewry, its composite World Container Index (WCI) rose 6% this week to USD2,712 per 40-foot container, marking the third consecutive weekly increase in May. The sharpest gains came on the Asia-Europe trade lane, where tightening capacity and rising Freight All Kinds (FAK) rates fueled a surge in spot pricing. Freight rates from Shanghai to Rotterdam jumped 15% to USD2,773 per feu, while Shanghai-to-Genoa rates climbed 10% to USD4,082 per feu. Drewry said only three blank sailings are currently scheduled on the Asia-Europe route for next week, signaling that carriers are deploying more capacity to capture strengthening demand ahead of the summer shipping rush."}
