Market Commentary

Ocean freight rates continue to show volatility as we move through Q3 2025. Transpacific routes (Asia to US West Coast) are experiencing upward pressure due to peak season demand and ongoing Red Sea disruptions. European routes showing slight softening as capacity increases. Backhaul rates remain historically low, creating opportunities for US exporters.

Gateway Advantage: Our contracted rates are locked 15-20% below spot market, protecting you from volatility.
