Drewry's Container Capacity Insight showed eight blank sailings scheduled on the transpacific for the week beginning August 3, 2026, up from seven the prior week, reversing a short-lived pattern of carriers reinjecting capacity. On Asia-North Europe the count moved the other way, with three planned voidings against four in the current week. The transpacific increase signals carriers prioritising rate defence over volume capture as spot indices slide, and Drewry expects rate volatility to ease over the coming week.
