The Seatrade Maritime website carries an interesting article that analyses the uncertainty surrounding US import tariffs that are resulting in a hazy picture for demand and capacity, and challenging the planning of container lines and their customers alike.

This was of great interest for the U-Freight Group with our string presence in the international container shipping market, including LCL and FCL import and export operations around the world.

The article details how Pacific trade capacity has been reduced by 11% since January, whilst shifts in shipping alliances have further complicated the global market outlook.
