Africa reprices and Europe climbs back to just under $4,000

The desk behind this month's read

Africa posted the largest average rise of our seven regions, +26.6% across 54 destinations. Nigeria's +102.9% needs a caveat: the desk had quoted it at the same $3,150-$3,850 for eight months, so part of the move is a stale level catching up with neighbours that had already risen. The rest of the region is not a correction. Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Togo arrived on one $6,100 quote, Kenya rose 32.6% and South Africa 35.8% to $5,805-$7,095. Europe recovered most of October's fall. France, Belgium and the UK rose 11.4% to $3,510-$4,290 and Germany 5.4% into the same band, but our desk's $3,900 quote stops short of the $4,000 Maersk and CMA CGM announced. Spain and Italy went above it at $4,005-$4,895. The EAA Network reports Asia-Europe double sailings above their 2021 peak, with carriers accelerating their return to Suez. That keeps the recovery tied to congestion rather than demand.

The transpacific eased. The United States arrived as a desk quote for the first time, $7,000-$9,000 per 40GP from Los Angeles to New York. Its −4.7% compares that quote with our own derived October figure, but both coasts sit below the levels our US desk gave a month ago. Canada fell 10.4% and Mexico 13.7%. Air moved more consistently than ocean: 42 of 50 quoted destinations rose, the median by 24.8%, and the only fallers were short Asian lanes. North Europe went from $3.95-$4.60 to $5.90-$6.20/kg. The EAA Network also reports that ILWU Local 26 has authorised possible strike action at Los Angeles and Long Beach from 1 November; nothing has been confirmed.

Three method changes belong on the record. Destinations quoted on several ports now publish a cheapest-to-dearest port range (extrapolation ratios stay on the main port, comparable with October), which accounts for much of the moves in Vietnam, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia; Indonesia's −41.9% is mostly a switch from a high-cube-like midpoint to the desk's $930 40GP. European LCL had been frozen at $30-$45 per cbm and now publishes the desk's $75, a data correction rather than a market rise. India and Pakistan publish as quoted for the first time since July, while Sri Lanka's identical 20GP and 40GP were rejected and October's level stands. Austria's +51.2% from last month was corrected by its second reading, −33.1% to $3,915-$4,785.

Watch next month

North Europe at $3,900. Whether it holds through the Christmas cut-offs, or gives way once double sailings clear and the Suez capacity shows.
West Africa's new band. A second reading at $6,100 per 40GP to Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Togo, and above $7,000 to Nigeria, confirms the level.
The first quoted US range, $7,000-$9,000. December shows whether GRIs and the possible ILWU Local 26 action move it.
Multi-port ranges. December is the first like-for-like month for Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia.
Air at a median +24.8%. Whether peak-season air keeps climbing into December or eases once Black Friday cargo has flown.

Methodology

How we build the index.

01 · Data source

Rates are SINO Shipping's own monthly midpoints across 196 China-origin lanes — a single forwarder's book of business, not a multi-carrier index. FCL/LCL/air/rail/express captured the same week each month.

02 · Coverage

Lane Tracker publishes a single-forwarder benchmark. For the ~14-16 emerging-markets lanes with no public benchmark (Middle Corridor, East Africa, MENA secondary, SE Asia secondary, Caribbean), no comparable data exists publicly.

03 · Cadence & corrections

Published monthly, last week of the month, on methodology v1. Material corrections are noted in the change log on the methodology page; prior-month snapshots stay frozen at their published values.
