This week, the Ningbo Shipping Exchange released the Ningbo Export Container Freight Index (NCFI) of the Maritime Silk Road Index, which closed at 921.2 points, a decrease of 4.2% compared to last week. Among the 21 routes, 3 routes saw an increase in the freight index, while 18 routes experienced a decline. Among the main ports along the "Maritime Silk Road", 6 ports saw increases in their freight indices, while 10 ports experienced declines. For North American routes, market shipments decreased, and shipping companies significantly reduced route capacity to maintain stable freight rates. The freight index for the East Coast of the U.S. is 1088.5 points, down 1.0% from last week; the freight index for the West Coast of the U.S. is 1216.4 points, down 0.5% from last week. This week, the India-Pakistan route market was quite volatile: market transportation demand increased, and tight space led to rising freight rates. The freight index for the India-Pakistan route is 1347.6 points, up 5.9% from last week.
