Freight Rates Rise Across All Latin America Lanes, Space Extremely Tight – Book Early

Dear Partners, latest market update: Freight rates have increased across all routes from Far East to West South America, East South America, Central America, Mexico & Caribbean. Multiple carriers have implemented Peak Season Surcharge (PSS), and full bookings are widespread.

Key reasons for the surge:

1. Massive vessel reallocation to US peak season, cutting capacity for Latin America;

2. Shippers rush shipments in advance to avoid new import tariffs in Brazil, Argentina & Peru;

3. Reduced transit slots at Panama Canal, port congestion & slow empty container return push up overall costs.

Kind reminder: Quotation validity is much shorter now; last-minute bookings often face no space & higher rates. Please confirm & lock your space ASAP if you have shipment plans. We also offer transshipment & split shipment solutions to cut your cost. Feel free to send your inquiry anytime.

Heavy port congestion at DAR ES SALAAM port recently, many vessels have to anchor for a long time before berthing, empty containers cannot be returned on time, so many carriers stop accepting new bookings temporarily.

Our suggestions:
1. Transship via nearby alternative ports;
2. Postpone shipment if not urgent;
3. If sticking to this port, please be aware of long delays & extra detention/storage charges.

Feel free to check real-time space with me before booking.

Kenya Mandatory ACD Pre-Arrival Declaration Takes Effect on Aug 3, 2026 | Critical Shipping Notice

Dear Freight Forwarders & Trading Partners,
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA Customs) has officially announced that the Advance Cargo Declaration (ACD) platform will be fully launched and enforced on August 3, 2026, covering all containerized shipments destined for Kenya.

Who must apply for the ACD code?

1. Cargo with final destination (seaport/inland point) within Kenya territory

2. Consignee with registered business/residential address in Kenya

Exempted shipments (No ACD required)

Transit goods that only discharge at Kenyan ports and will be further transported to neighboring countries of Kenya are exempted from this ACD declaration requirement.

Risk Warning

For all shipments sailing on or after Aug 3, 2026 without valid ACD Reference Code, consequences will include customs clearance delay, heavy fines and detention at destination port. All additional costs and liabilities arising from non-compliance shall be borne by the booking agent and relevant shipper.
Please kindly inform your overseas consignees and suppliers to apply for the ACD code in advance to avoid unnecessary risks to your schedule and cargo.

Latest Shipping Update: Bab el-Mandeb Strait & Red Sea Situation

Recent geopolitical tensions across the Middle East have escalated again. Houthi forces have announced a maritime blockade targeting Saudi-linked vessels and launched confirmed attacks on merchant ships in the southern Red Sea. The threat level of Bab el-Mandeb Strait has risen notably, with daily vessel transits dropping to a multi-month low recently.

Global carriers have adopted differentiated strategies at present:
Several carriers including CMA CGM, Maersk, Wan Hai and RCL still operate selected services to transit the Red Sea and Suez Canal cautiously. Meanwhile, most major carriers such as MSC, COSCO Shipping, Evergreen and ONE have tightened their rules again; most Asia-Europe trunk services resume rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid unexpected strikes in the strait.

Key industry impacts as below:

1. Carriers still transiting the Red Sea keep imposing war risk surcharges and high marine insurance fees, leading to slightly higher overall ocean rates.

2. Services rerouted around the Cape extend transit time by 7 to 12 days. Longer vessel rotation tightens space availability and puts upward pressure on spot freight rates.

3. All carriers maintain emergency protocols. If attacks intensify sharply across Bab el-Mandeb, all vessels will immediately switch to the Cape route, resulting in unexpected sailing delays.

For your shipments to Europe, Mediterranean and Middle East in the near future, we highly recommend you book space and lock current rates in advance to avoid further cost increases and schedule disruptions.
We can provide two flexible options for you: direct Red Sea transit and Cape of Good Hope rerouting, based on your timeline and budget demands.

August Freight Rate Update | Far East → West South America

Contrary to the traditional off-season trend, ocean freight rates from China to West South America keep rising in August.

The rate increase is caused by a combination of multiple factors:

1. Pre-peak shipment rush in response to new Latin America tariff policies;

2. Tight capacity due to peak season demand on US & Europe routes;

3. Major carriers implement general rate increases (GRI) and peak season surcharges with blank sailings;

4. Slow empty container return and persistent destination port congestion in South America;

5. Higher bunker fuel costs and marine insurance expenses.

Space is currently tight and rates are volatile. We highly recommend advanced booking to secure stable space and lock the current price.

We provide reliable spot rates, stable vessel space and full logistics support for South America shipments.
