Welcome to the September edition of the Shipping Report, available in our refreshed format with the option to download a full PDF version. This month's edition captures the growing complexity in global trade as markets grapple with capacity shifts, rate volatility, and the ongoing impact of geopolitical risks. While freight rates remain under pressure, Golden Week slowdowns and service adjustments are beginning to reshape schedules across key Asia-Pacific lanes. Closer to home, we look at new rate restorations, service expansions into New Zealand, and tightening conditions across trucking and logistics in the lead-up to China's Golden Week. The disruption caused by Super Typhoon Yagi, now compounded by Super Typhoon Ragasa, is adding further strain, with ripple effects expected across both sea and airfreight networks We also take a wider lens on global developments: Red Sea disruptions, container equipment shortages, the Panama Canal outlook, and the broader sustainability push as shipping eyes 2050 decarbonisation goals. Plus, don't miss our exclusive webinar on the 2nd of October, where we'll unpack key findings from the report and discuss what lies ahead for Q4 and beyond.
