Containers Charter rates International

Boxship charter rates continue to rise as 2026 availability remains critically limited

  • Containership chartering activity slowed over the past week following several weeks of strong momentum, reflecting a typical seasonal lull rather than any weakening in market fundamentals
  • Brokers said vessel availability for the remainder of 2026 remains exceptionally limited, keeping bargaining power firmly with shipowners
