Freight market conditions are becoming increasingly varied across the Asia-Australia trade, with additional capacity easing rates in South China while ongoing congestion and port omissions continue to restrict available space across North and East China.
Successive typhoons have added further pressure to already disrupted shipping networks, with global schedule reliability declining and vessel delays extending beyond China into regional transhipment hubs.

- Golden Week and the October market outlook
- Middle East disruption and its impact on global shipping
