2021 has got off to flying start for long-term contracted ocean freight rates, according to the latest XSI® Public Indices report from Xeneta. January’s XSI®, which gleans unique intelligence from crowd sourced real-time shipping rates, shows one of the highest ever monthly rate increases, with a global jump of 5.9%. This leaves the index 4.5% up year-on-year, with few signs of relief on the horizon.
XSI® effectively takes the temperature of the long-term contracted market, capturing the latest rates from leading shippers, utilizing over 200 million data points, with more than 160,000 port-to-port pairings.
