Welcome to the October edition of the Shipping Report, now available in our refreshed format, with the option to download a full PDF version.

This month, global shipping sees a mix of short-term gains and ongoing uncertainty. Recent market movements, blank sailings, and rate adjustments are reshaping key trade lanes, while capacity and equipment remain in focus across Asia-Pacific routes.

Closer to home, Australian trade faces tightening conditions, service updates, and shifting freight patterns that are impacting schedules and planning.

On the global stage, developments in trade flows, port operations, and geopolitical risks are adding layers of complexity to an already dynamic market.
