Several factors contribute to this imbalance:

* Strong Consumer Demand: As economies recover from the impact of the pandemic, consumer spending has rebounded, driving demand for imported goods and spurring activity in container trades.

* Supply Chain Disruptions: Persistent disruptions in the supply chain, such as port congestion, equipment shortages, and labour challenges, exacerbate the imbalance between container supply and demand, leading to prolonged rate increases.

* Operational Constraints: Shipping lines and logistics providers face operational constraints, including vessel capacity limitations, schedule disruptions, and operational inefficiencies, which further contribute to the tight market conditions.

Preparing for Rate Increases: Against this backdrop, it is essential for our customers to prepare for upcoming rate adjustments proactively. Here are some key steps you can take to navigate this environment effectively:
