Transpacific capacity tightens further as peak-season frontloading continues

Summary

Shippabo's July market read shows Transpacific eastbound capacity tightening week-on-week with only a handful of blank sailings, as strong demand absorbs space. Far East–USWC short-term rates are up roughly 125% since the late-February Middle East conflict, and booking lead times stretch hardest on Vietnam and China-origin cargo into the US East Coast and Gulf.
