In Q2 2026, the global shipping market shows an upward trend. The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) recorded a month-on-month increase of about 8% in April, with Asia-Europe routes leading the gains at 12.3%. Pacific routes rose approximately 6.8%.

Industry analysts attribute the rate increases to: sustained recovery in global trade, strong container demand, and capacity adjustments by major carriers.

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, new vessel deliveries may improve supply, but environmental regulations (EU ETS) will add costs. Freight rates are expected to remain at elevated levels with high volatility.
