Average rate per container, USD · each dot is one rate update from the agent
Points are spaced by actual calendar date. Short gaps mean no rate update was issued in that period — typically because pricing held steady or sailings were closed. A flat segment is not a measured trend, only the absence of a revision.
Some points on this lane come from fewer than 5 carrier quotes — treat movement with caution.
How this is calculated. Each point is the simple average of every carrier quotation received for that lane on that date. 40HQ is treated as 40ft. Carrier identities are not disclosed.
Coverage and limits. Rates are compiled from a single freight forwarding source and reflect that forwarder's book, not the whole market. Updates arrive when carriers revise pricing, so intervals are irregular. This tracker indicates market direction only — it is not a quotation, not a booking offer, and should not be used to price a shipment. Actual rates vary by volume, commodity, equipment availability and sailing date.
