- Shipping Companies Suddenly Announce Collective Rate Hikes!The container shipping market has recently seen a wave of collective rate hikes by liner companies for March. Major carriers, including Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, and Wan Hai, have announced adjustments to freight rates on routes covering Europe, North America, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and intra-Asia. Maersk raised Europe-bound rates to 2,600/TEU and 4,000/FEU, while Hapag-Lloyd increased rates on multiple routes. MSC and Wan Hai also issued rate hike notices. These adjustments have driven a strong performance in the Europe Container Index (EC) futures market, but significant resistance is expected due to declining cargo volumes on major routes and uncertainties in the Middle East. The launch of the “Gemini” alliance between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd has reduced market concentration, potentially intensifying competition. Global container shipping supply is projected to grow by 5.4%, exceeding annual demand growth of 2%–3%, further pressuring rates.Logistics News February 19, 2025
