The week in freight

Four figures our desks kept coming back to · checked by the data desk

  • 6 weeks in a row of falling container spot rates on the Break Freight Index
  • 40 ships at anchor off the Elbe at the height of the fog
  • 12,000 t of cargo on the first crewless feeder crossing of the North Sea
  • 5% of tankers on our map silent for more than twelve hours on an average day
