- 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

- Escalating Port Detention Risks for Chilean Cherry ShipmentsA shipment of Chilean cherries at Nansha Port faces escalating risks of port detention due to stringent inspection protocols. The Chilean Fruit Cherry Committee confirmed that the large cargo volume has extended port clearance procedures by several days. Customs authorities have completed full inspections on 10 containers, identifying critical flaws in cold chain logistics, with all shipments pending laboratory analysis. This incident may lead to large-scale cargo detention or partial destruction. Emergency negotiations among Maersk Line, consignees, and Chinese customs remain inconclusive. The delays deliver a dual blow to Chile's cherry industry: while 2024/25 exports to China are projected to hit a record 17,000 containers, the "Maersk Saltoro" vessel's schedule disruption threatens to miss the Spring Festival sales peak, exposing vulnerabilities in global perishable supply chains.Marketing Info update February 24, 2025
