Container Shipping Rates Diverge Amid Geopolitical Tensions: Europe Routes Surge, US Lanes Decline
Recently, due to the continued impact of geopolitical tensions, the container shipping market has shown a divergent trend: the Persian Gulf route has basically stagnated, the freight rate of the European route has continued to rise, and the North American route has fallen due to insufficient demand, and the comprehensive index has declined slightly.
