Surely you saw the decision of the IMO by Friday – the future is green. BUT how are ocean carriers doing today. What did we learn in Q1 about the carriers CO2 performance? Read all about it here:
With the first quarter of the year having sailed off over the horizon, it’s time to take a deep dive into Xeneta and Marine Benchmark’s Carbon Emissions Index (CEI) to assess the environmental performance of the carrier segment. Built on the foundation of real-time AIS data and individual vessel specifications, the CEI gives shippers the data they need to make informed “green shipping” decisions for their global cargoes.
So, in a challenging economic market for the ocean freight industry, how are carrier emissions evolving?

Peak season holds uncertainty for spot rates
Do you have market intel to stay ahead of rate volatility?
As we head into peak season, everyone’s waiting to see if short-term rates spike or the market remains flat. But rolling the dice in the spot market is risky, especially on secondary trade lanes where volatility remains high. Without market intel, you may not have the agility for the disruptions to come.

FINALLY; and update on the spot freight rates from China to North Europe – with a twist of retail focus.
Both economic performance and the outlook for Europe have been edging downwards since peaking in Q1 2022, partly due to post-Covid-19 developments and the war raging in Ukraine. The conflict ignited inflation in the region and continues to impact the market in terms of consumer behavior.
The China to North Europe trade lane has clearly reflected market trends during 2023, and here we dig deeper into the trajectory of retail spot rates on the trade versus the market average.
