In the wake of a 90-day tariff suspension agreement between China and the U.S., container bookings on the China–U.S. trade lane have exploded. According to supply chain tracking firm Vizion, bookings surged by 277% over the past week.
Key Data:
- 7-day average bookings reached 21,530 TEU, up from 5,709 TEU on May 5
- Demand driven by a rush to import goods before tariffs resume
- Hapag-Lloyd CEO reported a 50% booking increase on their China–U.S. services
What This Means:
- Ocean freight rates are likely to rise sharply in the coming weeks
- Port congestion and equipment shortages could follow
- Early booking = cost savings and smoother logistics
