He stated that the improvement followed a gradual easing of regional tensions and renewed confidence among shipping lines, noting that 2024 had been a “year of testing” for the canal amid developments that began in late 2023.

Freight Rates

What Are Freight Rates?

Freight rates are the agreed costs charged by carriers for transporting goods between an origin and a destination. In maritime container logistics, freight rates typically refer to ocean freight rates, which cover the movement of containers by sea and may include a variety of surcharges, local fees, and terminal handling charges.
