https://ufreight.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/container_dock_1.jpg901600With U-Freight’s strong presence in the global container shipping arena, we note that Drewry’s World Container Index decreased 3% to USD2,517 per 40ft container in the week to Thursday, 24 July, marking its sixth consecutive weekly decline. This ongoing downturn follows an earlier period of volatility triggered by higher US tariffs announced in April. The market reaction to the tariffs was delayed by one month, with rates beginning to climb in May and surging through the first week of June. However, this trend has since reversed, with rates falling consistently since mid-June, indicating that the tariff’s initial market impact was not sustained.
