As Christmas approaches, the container shipping market witnesses an unexpected rate reversal: on December 1st, shipping companies’ US route rate hike plan collapsed in just half a day after an Asian maritime alliance member announced no rate increase. USWC rates fell back to $1,450/FEU, while USEC remained at $2,300. According to Goodship56’s real-time data, the failure stems from weak trans-Pacific loading rates (60%-70%), low-price diversion, and non-alliance lines delaying hikes. Additionally, 8% of global voyages are canceled (48% on trans-Pacific eastbound routes), while Europe routes stay stable.
