Container shipping capacity on the Asia-U.S. trade route has sharply declined as carriers ramp up blank sailings.

Container shipping lines are gradually getting their services back on schedule, but they still have a long way to go.

A flood of newly built container ships will be delivered by shipyards in 2023-25. Can liners maintain pricing power?

The Shanghai lockdown isn’t following the same supply chain script as the big Chinese disruptions of 2020 and 2021.

There are now more container ships waiting off East and Gulf Coast ports than there are off Los Angeles/Long Beach.

No letup yet: It’s taking even longer for Asian exports to get across Pacific to American buyers.

Ocean cargo shippers are paying more than they ever have before for the worst service they’ve ever experienced.

Container ships in the congestion-plagued trans-Pacific trade have stepped on the gas, with some vessels now topping 20 knots.

U.S. importers will be paying a lot more for annual ocean contracts this year, but pricing inflation has eased.

California’s container-ship traffic jam is slightly less jammed but import pressure remains high. One analyst warns the worst may be yet to come.

It’s not just small and midsized importers that face massive contract rate hikes. Even the biggest shippers will feel the pain.
