3. Global Shipping Update: Disruptions & Recovery

  • Trans-Pacific Rate Surge: Trans-Pacific spot rates surged due to capacity restrictions and blank sailings around the Chinese Labour Day Holiday. Carriers are limiting capacity amidst heightened demand and ongoing security concerns. Sailing schedules are expected to normalize by the end of the month.
  • Asia-Europe Freight Rates: Spot rates are rising due to vessel capacity constraints and the Red Sea crisis. Efforts to add more ships and increase speeds aren’t fully bridging the gap between contract and spot rates. Regular schedules are anticipated three to four months post-political resolution in the Red Sea region.
  • Maritime Stability Efforts: Sixteen maritime organizations have addressed the UN Secretary-General about seafarer detentions and safety concerns, emphasizing the neutrality and essential role of seafarers. The historical politicization of shipping and current challenges suggest a protracted resolution.
  • Port of Baltimore Update: Cargo is set to return in late May after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. Maersk’s TP20 service is among the first to resume bookings. Full service restoration is expected by the end of May, easing east coast congestion.
  • Texas Bridge Incident: A barge collision with the Pelican Island Causeway in Galveston, Texas, caused a petroleum spill and structural damage, closing the sole road to Pelican Island. The US Coast Guard and the Texas Department of Transportation are assessing the damage. This incident underscores the vulnerability of critical infrastructure and its impact on local supply chains. Repairs and environmental cleanup are ongoing.
