Drewry WCI Moves +1.1% to $2210 as Q1 Rates Hold Near Cycle Lows

Summary

The Drewry WCI composite index moved +1.1% week-on-week to $2210 per 40ft container for the week ending 2026-03-18. Shanghai-Los Angeles held near $2770 and Shanghai-Rotterdam near $2400. Drewry said rates stayed range-bound through Q1 as demand softness offset capacity discipline, and expected only a gradual firming into Q2.
