While rising energy costs are setting a higher floor for freight rates, market levels on major trade lanes continue to be dictated by peak demand cycles and severe supply constraints.We evaluate the Transpacific market as spot rates plateau at $7,600/FEU to th...

Judah Levine, Head of Research at Freightos, is hosting solo again this week while Julia continues her vacation.In this episode, we unpack why ocean carriers—including Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, Cosco, and MSC—are taking steps to resume Red Sea transits despite the collapse of the US-Iran memorandum and ongoing Houthi threats. Driven by surging bunker fuel prices, the extended trip around Africa's Cape of Good Hope has grown significantly more expensive.

I'm Judah Levine, Head of Research, hosting solo this week as Julia takes a well-deserved vacation. 📍In this episode, we unpack why the anticipated Oman-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz has fallen apart. New demands from Iran—including reparations, transit fees, and vessel bans—have pushed hopes of an imminent resolution back, returning regional maritime transport to a strict wartime status quo. However, in a surprising counter-trend, ocean carriers including Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk, Cosco, and CMA CGM are reinstating select Red Sea transits despite localized Houthi threats against Saudi-l...

Under this proposal, vessels would coordinate entry through the northern Iranian channel and exit via the southern Omani channel, without transiting tolls for 60 days. We analyze what this means for ocean carriers, why long-haul container vessels will likely remain cautious until stability is guaranteed, and how recen...

This localized escalation strikes at the heart of Saudi Arabia's pipeline bypass strategy, forcing oil and regional cargo into longer, more expensive detours.We also examine the ocean freight market, whe...

The fragile June ceasefire has disintegrated into a high-stakes operational standoff. While the US asserts the waterway remains open via its southern channel, reality on the water tells a completely different story: drone attacks and naval skirmishes have effectively reduced commercial transits to a crawl.In this episode, Julia Frohwein and Judah Levine unpack the immediate logistics fallout.

Container Bytes: Weekly Ocean & Air Freight Intelligence for Supply Chain Pros Container Bytes #39: The Oversupply Paradox and Far East Port GridlockWelcome back to Container Bytes! 📍 It’s July, and the Strait of Hormuz is locked in a dangerous pattern of starts, stops, and serious military escalations. Yet, the energy market is throwing a complete curveball: crude oil prices have unexpectedly plummeted back to pre-war baselines. Instead of the catastrophic energy shortages predicted months ago, the industry is suddenly bracing for a global oil oversupply.In this episode, Julia Frohwein and Judah Levine unpack this paradox. While crude supply has recovered due to strategic reserves and alternative land pipelines, refined transportation fuels like bunker and jet fuel remain stubb...

While carriers like CMA CGM and COSCO are trickling a few vessels out, nobody is exactly rushing back in. Ocean rates are staying surprisingly soft at around $2,500 for Transpacific lanes due to a massive ghost of overcapacity.

The White House pivoted with a (temporary-ish) 10% global tariff under Section 122 just four days later. It's currently sitting well below the 15% to 20% ranges we saw previously, but with the July expiration date looming, the USTR is sprinting through 122 new trade investigations.The billion-dollar question: how do you actually get your IEEPA refund?

That's a polite way of saying everything is moving by truck on two-lane highways and costing a fortune.The real story this week isn't just the closure of the Strait; it’s the surcharge flurry hitting lanes that haven't even seen a ripple from the Gulf.
