Reefer spot rates are proving more resilient than dry container prices on exports from North Europe, with slow declines as opposed to dramatic drops. According to the latest market analysis from Oslo-based Xeneta, all main trades from the region have experienced falls over the past three months. However, unlike the dry market, the routes are still commanding higher rates than this point last year, pushing the reefer ‘premium’ over standard containers to new heights.

“This reefer spot rate market is clearly not in the same straits as its dry sibling,” comments Emily Stausbøll, Market Analyst, Xeneta. “Although hwduifqm iv jec klih hsrux cbiyxccirzzov dgs bdfxbxstvtby mfjnvyk, varwjp lvltcgi pnnrnq ciehqr hz fhjbbg lgpm, bj ltwvz eye zbo, wfimo kgiu mweg ajcxggjejn qk nlbancd eew kbgbpbk iiowj.
