With U-Freight\u2019s strong presence in the global container shipping arena, we note a report in the Journal of Commerce that container shipping lines are widely expected to announce a wave of blank sailings on the eastbound trans-Pacific trade in the next couple weeks, lest they fail to create a floor for falling spot rates ahead of China\u2019s Golden Week.

The period ahead of the holiday that results in slowing Chinese production is the last opportunity of the year to stop a two-month dive in spot rates from Asia to the US West Coast.\u00a0\u00a0

The JoC article says that ocean carriers thus far have been modest in blanking capacity despite rates falling sharply over the last two months and weak forecasts for year-end volumes. It adds that container lines plan to add capacity in October, injecting nearly 100,000 teu more than what will be deployed in September, according to data from maritime intelligence provider eeSea that is available via charts on JOC.com\u2019s Gateway.\u00a0\u00a0
