Container Freight Rates Rebound After Lunar New Year — But Hormuz Tensions Cloud the Outlook

04.03.2026

Global container freight rates are showing signs of recovery as Asian factories resume production following the Lunar New Year holidays. According to Drewry, the composite World Container Index (WCI) increased by 3% to $1,958 per 40-foot container, marking the first rise after seven consecutive weeks of decline.

The rebound is most visible on transpacific routes:

— Shanghai–Los Angeles rates climbed 10% to $2,402

— Shanghai–New York increased 7% to $2,977

Meanwhile, Asia–Europe lanes remain weaker:

— Shanghai–Rotterdam fell 2% to $2,052

— Shanghai–Genoa edged up just 1% to $2,844

As manufacturing activity in Asia picks up, carriers are gradually returning vessels to service and reducing the number of blank sailings.

However, escalating tensions in the Middle East and security risks around the Strait of Hormuz could quickly reintroduce volatility into the market. Higher war-risk insurance premiums, potential delays, and vessel rerouting may all influence freight rates.

For the container shipping market, this creates a fragile balance between seasonal demand recovery and geopolitical risk — a combination that could rapidly shift freight pricing and vessel availability.

СMA CGM Expands Inland Container Transport Between Fos and Lyon with Electric Barges

16.02.2026

CMA CGM has announced the launch of an electric and hybrid inland barge project on the Fos–Lyon corridor, strengthening multimodal flows along the Mediterranean–Rhône–Saône axis. The initiative runs alongside a €40 million upgrade program for the Lyon Rhône Terminal (LRT).

The electric barge is expected to enter service within two years and will be capable of transporting up to 12,000 TEU annually. The 185-meter vessel, with a capacity of 156 TEU, will be built in Europe for delivery in 2028. The project was unveiled in Lyon in the presence of France’s Minister of Transport.

CMA CGM is in advanced discussions with river operator Combronde to jointly operate and commercialize the service. The group is also collaborating with Compagnie Nationale du Rhône to develop charging infrastructure in Lyon and Arles, supported by regional authorities and EU funding programs.

Under a 30-year sub-concession awarded in April 2025, LRT modernization aims to increase river and rail volumes along the Fos–Lyon axis. By 2030, CMA CGM targets 100,000 TEU via inland waterways and 60,000 TEU by rail in Lyon.

The initiative is positioned as a key component of logistics decarbonization in France, with river transport reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to road haulage while easing congestion on the A7 motorway.
