Container Rates Near $9,000 on Asia-US East Coast as Iran War Flares

Container rates on the Asia-US trans-Pacific trade lane surged to nearly $9,000 per FEU on the East Coast, up 8% week-over-week, as renewed hostilities between the US and Iran disrupt shipping and delay Maersk's planned return to the Suez Canal. General rate increases and peak season surcharges have added over $3,000 per FEU since late May. Congestion is building at major Asian ports including Shanghai, Ningbo, Yantian, Singapore, Busan, and Colombo.
