# Record autumn capacity is late ships, not new ones | Forwarder News

> Sea-Intelligence reports that Asia to US West Coast container capacity is near record levels, at about 393,000 TEU a week in October and roughly 400,000 in November, due to delayed third-quarter sailings arriving together. Drewry's Shanghai to Los Angeles rate fell 6% to $7,514 per 40ft on 29 October and is expected to fall further.

## Why it matters

Container capacity flooding the market is a container-shipping story with little direct effect on bulk feed grain freight. It mainly affects containerised trade and terminal congestion rather than dry bulk commodity prices.
