Drewry World Container Index (WCI) fell 4.25 per cent to $2,250 per FEU on August 21, its tenth straight weekly decline, as container shipping demand stayed weak.
Transpacific and Asia–Europe spot rates dropped, while some routes remained stable.
With US retailers scaling back purchases, Drewry expects less volatility, though tariffs and capacity shifts may drive further rate contractions in late 2025.
