> Container spot rates fell on major routes, with Asia–Rotterdam down 2% and transpacific New York down 3%, as carriers failed to sustain rate increases introduced on November 1. The return of services to Suez is releasing an estimated 600,000 TEU of capacity, while subdued seasonal demand also weighs on rates; renewed security risks could reverse the decline.
