Drewry: Only 24 Blank Sailings Over Next Five Weeks as Schedules Stabilise

Summary

Drewry's Cancelled Sailings Tracker for 26 June shows just 24 blank sailings across major East-West trades over the next five weeks, a cancellation rate of only 3%. Most disruptions are concentrated on the Transpacific eastbound trade (63%), followed by Asia-Europe/Med (29%), while the Transatlantic remains largely unaffected. Despite improving schedule reliability and a gradually reopening Strait of Hormuz, strong cargo demand and frontloading activity continue to push rates higher, with Drewry's WCI up 5% to $4,166 per 40ft container.
