Tianjin E-Chain Logistics’s Week 40 Route Trends for 2025

1.I wish everyone a happy National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.

Prices on the US-Canada route continue to decline. Although some PA vessels on both the US West Coast and US East Coast routes have been diverted to Ningbo due to Typhoon Man, space remains fully available. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

2. Happy holidays to everyone as the holidays approach. Mid-holiday sailings on the Europe-Norway route are gradually being filled. New bookings are subject to the risk of being dropped. Current freight rates are quoted until early October. The market will see an increase after October 15th. Specific freight rates will be updated after the holidays. With prices expected to rise in the second half of the month, CCA (Contract Cargo Containerization) is recommended. Suxi CCA continues to see demand. Additionally, mid-holiday sailings can be pre-booked and some can apply for pre-port entry. There are still many delays in sailing departures in the near future, so please monitor individual vessel departure information. Delays in docking and transit may occur due to varying degrees of congestion at the destination port.

3. All vessels on the Middle East Red Sea route are fully booked during the holiday. Since pre-holiday freight rates have bottomed out and post-holiday sailings are mostly scheduled after mid-October, freight rates will surge after the holiday. Please make arrangements as soon as possible if you have cargo. Red Sea routes will also see a slight increase in freight rates after the holiday. Vessels with pre-holiday space are recommended to make early arrangements. Finally, I wish you all a happy double holiday!

4. Happy holidays in advance! All vessels on the India-Pakistan route are fully booked during the holiday. Freight rates are expected to rise significantly after the holiday. Please book your space as soon as possible, as space will be very tight after the holiday. Post-holiday rates on the Bangladesh route are expected to remain stable or increase slightly, with textiles being prioritized. Yiwu Suxi CCA cargo is also prioritized. Please contact us individually!

5. Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with National Day, celebrating both the holidays. Southeast Asia routes will be heavily in demand during the holiday and the first week after the holiday, with freight rates remaining largely unchanged. Australia and New Zealand routes are fully booked during the holiday, and post-holiday space is tight. Rates are expected to increase by 300/600 starting mid-October. We also highly recommend the Yiwu-Suxi sea-rail service. If you have cargo, please apply for a special offer.

6. Happy holidays in advance.

Africa routes: Freight rates for the mid- and post-holiday seasons are primarily focused on demand. East African freight rates continue to decline in early October and are expected to remain low. RCL vessels with limited capacity, coupled with mid-month vacancies, have booked through late October. South African freight rates continue to decline. EMC has stopped accepting cargo during the holiday season due to space constraints. New bookings can be made on the post-holiday season. West African freight rates will continue to decline in the first half of October. MSC is in high demand for mid-holiday sailings, so please actively follow up on freight rates. Please actively promote the Suxi sea-rail service. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

7. Latin America routes Overall market cargo volume saw no significant growth before the holiday, and freight rates are expected to remain stable or slightly decrease. Freight rates are unlikely to change significantly in the first half of October. Currently, NOR container availability is slightly tight. The Port of Buenos Aires, Argentina, has recently experienced congestion. Coupled with a surge in transshipment cargo from Paraguay, the terminal’s volume ratio has exceeded 80%. Infrastructure upgrades are also impacting vessel berthing, potentially affecting subsequent voyages. Actively negotiate space and freight rates. Please actively promote the development of Suxi’s sea-rail business. Freight rates are also negotiable.
