🚢 Ocean Freight
Recent developments in the ocean freight sector indicate an early onset and intensification of Peak Season:

– A significant increase in blank sailings by shipping lines across East–West trade lanes
– As a result:

• A substantial reduction in cargo capacity, creating operational challenges for both ports and the whole supply chain
• A sharp increase in freight rates and surcharges

– Additionally, carriers are already announcing expected rate increases in the near term, particularly on routes from the Far East

These trends reflect an early market tightening; therefore, customers are advised to plan shipments in advance, secure space, and budget accordingly.
