Market Update:
Sustainability of freight rates and the ripple effects of the Red Sea Crisis
February 2024
The market might be softening, but the ripple effect is still very much in play.
Join Emily Stausboll in February’s Market Update as she walks through which global trade routes are seeing ocean freight prices soften, how the Red Sea crisis differs from what we saw in COVID and what we can expect to see going forward.
Emily draws on Xeneta data and other relevant datapoint from industry sources to help paint a picture of why the market has moved the way it has and why shippers shouldn’t become complacent just because we’re no longer seeing the same GRIs that were pushed through 1st February.
