As we head into June, the global shipping market is getting more volatile by the day. Freight rates are climbing fast across key routes like Latin America, the Middle East, Red Sea, Southeast Asia, and India-Pakistan. Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa aren’t spared either — especially West & East Africa, where space is extremely tight, rates are expected to go even higher, and rollovers/congestion are becoming common.

 

These rising costs and limited space mean delays and unexpected expenses if you wait too long.
