Globaler Container-Marktbericht — 2026-09-12

The Drewry World Container Index (WCI), the benchmark widely referenced by procurement teams, remained stable at $4,476 per 40ft container for the second consecutive week. On the Transpacific trade, rates from Shanghai to Los Angeles rose 2% to $7,352 per 40ft container, while those from Shanghai to New York edged up 1% to $9,726 per 40ft container. According to Drewry’s Container Capacity Insight , eight blank sailings have been announced for next week, up from seven this week, indicating tighter capacity. With easing demand and continued carrier capacity management, Drewry expects freight rates to remain stable next week. On the Asia–Europe trade route, rates from Shanghai to Genoa fell 3% to $4,216 per 40ft container while they decreased 2% to $3,997 per 40ft container from Shanghai to Rotterdam. According to Drewry’s Container Capacity Insight , three blank sailings are announced for next week, up from one this week, indicating tight capacity. While congestion at Shanghai port remained elevated, it improved from 94 hours in Week 35 to 64 hours in Week 36. With low demand, persistent congestion in Asia and continued capacity management by carriers, Drewry expects rates to remain stable next week. Iran–US tensions continue to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The Panama Canal Authority has postponed a 0.15-metre draft reduction for Neopanamax vessels, although transit restrictions remain. Carriers are supporting rates through capacity management, while congestion at Asian ports continues to disrupt schedules. Meanwhile, the selective return of services to the Suez Canal is restoring effective capacity on Asia–Europe routes, putting downwards pressure on freight rates. Early booking remains important as congestion and blank sailings can tighten capacity.

Drewry notes ongoing Hormuz / US–Iran tension with carriers announcing Emergency Fuel Surcharges (EFS).

Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) currently around USD 3,503.75 (volatility 0.64%).

Charakterisierung: Hochpreisiger, operativ volatiler Markt mit beginnender Rebalancierung — noch keine Normalisierung.

Die nachfolgende Tabelle enthält nur öffentlich belegte Benchmarks. Regionale Interpretation: Shanghai bleibt Referenz für Ost-West-Preise; Korrekturen auf Transpazifik und Asien–Europa spiegeln Kapazitätsaufbau und nachlassende Nachfrage wider (Drewry).

Für Shanghai/Ningbo/Hamburg/Busan/Dubai liegen in diesem Lauf keine ausreichend aktuellen, verifizierten Betriebszahlen vor. Bitte nur offizielle Hafen-Pressemitteilungen verwenden — keine Schätzungen.

Öffentliche Echtzeitdaten zu One-Trip-/Used-/Leasing-Beständen sind begrenzt. Ableitung aus Fracht- und Kapazitätssignalen: steigende Schiffskapazität kann Ost-West-Imbalancen mindern; starke US-Importe können Leercontainer erzeugen; Routenrisiken im Nahen Osten können Repositionierung verzögern. Dies sind Inferenzen, kein globales Depot-Inventar.

In diesem Zyklus wurden keine ausreichend spezifischen, materialen Reederei-Meldungen mit Direktbezug zur Tageslage bestätigt. Fehlende Updates bedeuten nicht fehlende Aktivität.

Zuverlässige tägliche Kaufpreise für neue, One-Trip- und Used-Container sind öffentlich nicht in Index-Tiefe verfügbar. Richtungssignale unten beziehen sich auf Ozean-Fracht, nicht auf Box-Anschaffungspreise.

Kurzfristig (2–6 Wochen): Moderater Abwärtsdruck auf Spot-Raten möglich, solange Kapazität steigt und Blank Sailings sinken — geopolitische Schocks können das rasch umkehren.

Mittelfristig (3–6 Monate): Breitere Suez-Rückkehr würde effektive Kapazität freisetzen; anhaltende Instabilität hält Transitzeiten und Kosten hoch.

Marktfazit: Aktiv, operativ volatil, hochsensibel für Kapazitäts- und Sicherheitsänderungen. Benchmarks vergleichen, nicht auf einen einzigen Globaltrend setzen.
