JIFFA reports that on the route to North America, spot rates climbed 0.9% to US$8,554 per FEU to east coast ports but fell 3.5% to US$4,658 per FEU to those on the west coast.

Furthermore, on north-south trades, containers were hauled at US$2,937 per TEU to the Middle East Gulf, up 2.7%, and US$2,279 per TEU to Australia and New Zealand, up 5.8%, according to JIFFA, which noted that fares for shipments to South America hiked 2.3% to US$9,120 per TEU, exceeding the US9,000-per-TEU line for the first time.
