Swire Shipping has implemented and revised Westbound Emergency Export Surcharges on Asia-to-Europe and Middle East lanes effective 11 August 2025 due to Red Sea and Transpacific disruptions. Feeder operators are redeploying fleets to the Transpacific, raising capacity costs on affected trade lanes.
Higher surcharges on feeder and container capacity increase the cost of moving containerized feed ingredients and some grain-related cargo from Asia to Europe, supporting freight-driven cost pressure.
