> The article says container traffic is shifting back through the Suez Canal as Red Sea shipping reopens, releasing an estimated 599,000 TEU of capacity. It reports forecasts of 30% declines in 2027 container rates, as fleet capacity growth is expected to exceed demand growth, while noting that the security situation remains uncertain.
