# Suez return could limit November freight rate increases, Sogese warns

> Sogese says expanding vessel capacity as carriers return to the Suez route is putting pressure on announced November Asia–Europe container rate increases. Drewry’s average container rate fell from $4,585 per 40-foot container on October 22 to $4,389 on November 5, and Sogese expects carriers to secure only part of their announced increases.
