The Drewry Global Composite Index rose 10% in recent days to $5,868 an hour. The latest spot index is 43% below its previous pandemic peak of $10,377 in September 2021, but 313% above its pre-pandemic average of $1,420 in 2019.

Lars Jensen, founder of consulting firm Vespucci Maritime, said freight levels on the four major east-west routes tracked by Drewry have more than doubled since the first week of May, while trans-Pacific routes on the east and west coasts look particularly hot.

The recently released Shanghai Container Freight Index rose 19.48 points to 3,733.8 points, the highest level since August 2022.
