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.

Global container shipping supply is projected to grow by 5.4%, exceeding annual demand growth of 2%¨C3%, further pressuring rates.
