The NYSHEX Freight Index (NYFI) is now available on Container News, giving readers access to one of the container shipping industry’s leading transaction-based freight benchmarks.
The integration expands Container News’ market intelligence offering. It also provides shipping professionals with an additional tool for tracking freight market developments across key global trade lanes.
Developed by NYSHEX, the NYFI provides transparent, transaction-based benchmarks for global container freight rates. It is built on actual shipped container transactions rather than market quotes or surveys. The index helps shippers, ocean carriers, freight forwarders and financial institutions monitor market movements.
It also supports freight cost benchmarking, index-linked contracts and freight price risk management.
The index is governed jointly by industry stakeholders. Its goal is to improve pricing transparency, strengthen commercial relationships and support more effective risk management across the container shipping market.
By integrating the NYSHEX Freight Index (NYFI) into its platform, Container News enables shipping lines, freight forwarders, cargo owners, logistics providers, analysts and investors to access the latest index values. Readers can follow the data alongside the publication’s comprehensive editorial coverage of the global container shipping industry.
The addition of the NYFI further strengthens Container News’ portfolio of market intelligence resources. It reinforces the publication’s commitment to delivering timely news, reliable data and in-depth analysis to the international maritime community.
