Freightos reports Asia-US West Coast rates rose 8% to $1,540/FEU and Asia-US East Coast rates dipped 2% to $2,321/FEU. Carriers are weighing a June general rate increase and Panama Canal surcharges that could push East Coast rates higher.
Rates remain far below year-ago levels.
Canal-driven surcharges and a possible June rate increase point to higher container freight costs, which can raise landed costs for imported feed ingredients and affect US export competitiveness.
