The Drewry WCI composite index rose 1.6% week-on-week to $2505 per 40ft container for the week ending 2026-04-15. Shanghai-Los Angeles increased to $3090 and Shanghai-Rotterdam to $2655. Drewry attributed the firming to early signs of peak-season frontloading and tighter transpacific capacity, and expected rates to hold a gradual upward path through April ahead of carrier May 1 initiatives.
