## Company Profile SCORE JAPAN CO., LTD. — freight forwarder (Japan). Publicly available directory listing (ForwardersPages) identifies SCORE JAPAN as a Japanese freight forwarder; no company website or detailed profile found in open sources. Likely activities: international sea and air forwarding, customs clearance/agency services, door‑to‑door logistics for exporters/importers, and coordination of feeder/transshipment services via major Japanese ports (Tokyo/Yokohama, Osaka/Kobe). Scale: not disclosed in open sources; appears to be a small‑to‑mid sized forwarder used by regional exporters (based on directory listing). ## Pain Points 1) Loss of Japan→US volume and lane re‑routing: Japan‑origin volumes to the US are down YTD (–10%+), and clients are re‑routing via other Asian hubs (China surge in transshipment). This reduces forwarder revenue on established lanes and forces rapid re‑booking and feeder changes. 2) Rate volatility, blank sailings and capacity management: aggressive blank sailings and carrier capacity plays create unpredictable spot rates and schedule gaps; forwarders must spend disproportionate time rate‑shopping, negotiating and re‑scheduling for shippers. 3) Increased compliance/documentation burden: 2026 anti‑dumping/anti‑circumvention reforms and tighter origin/HS enforcement (effective 1 April 2026) plus digital customs rollouts increase paperwork and risk for exporters/importers; forwarders will be asked for better provenance documentation and risk guidance. ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === [MARKET EVENTS] Japan export/import trade flows & container volume shifts (2026) === **1. Direction of Japan–US container trade in 2026** - Japan–US westbound (Japan exports to US) fell **4.1% YoY in February 2026** to **42,657 TEU**, according to Descartes Datamyne. ([porttechnology.org](https://www.porttechnology.org/japan-us-container-trade-falls-4-1-per-cent-in-february/?utm_source=openai)) - Within that Japan–US flow, use of **South Korea as a transshipment hub fell 10.3% YoY** (to 8,753 TEU), while **transshipment via China surged 84.6% YoY** (to 2,628 TEU), indicating routing shifts even when final destination (US) is unchanged. ([porttechnology.org](https://www.porttechnology.org/japan-us-container-trade-falls-4-1-per-cent-in-february/?utm_source=openai)) - A related Asia–US westbound report for March 2026 shows **total Asia→US volumes up 1.3% YoY**, but **Japan-origin volumes down 14.1% YoY in March and down 10.1% for 2026 year‑to‑date**, confirming Japan’s relative share loss within the broader transpacific trade. ([lnews.jp](https://www.lnews.jp/2026/04/s0414706.html?utm_source=openai)) **Implication:** Japanese exporters are **losing relative share on the US lane** and, in some cases, re‑routing via China, even as overall Asian flows to the US edge higher. --- **2. Export destination mix for Japan in Q1 2026** A recent Q1 2026 export analysis for Japan highlights: - **US and China remain Japan’s top export destinations**, with both holding the largest market shares in value terms. ([tendata.com](https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai)) - The analysis notes that **export growth is “most pronounced in Asian markets”**, emphasizing **ASEAN and wider Asia-Pacific as growth outlets**, while shipments to some mature Western markets are stagnant or declining. ([tendata.com](https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai)) While the article provides an illustrative breakdown (US, China, ASEAN, EU, others), the key directional message is: - **Stable to soft exports to the US and EU** in early 2026. - **Stronger momentum toward ASEAN and broader Asian markets**, as Japanese firms look for diversification and growth closer to home. --- **3. Structural shifts in trade corridors affecting Japan** Global analysis for 2024–26 shows: - US import share from **China down ~4.4 percentage points** between 2024 and 2025, while **ASEAN’s share is up ~2.5 percentage points and “rest of Asia-Pacific” up ~2.4 points**. ([mckinsey.com](https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/geopolitics-and-the-geometry-of-global-trade-2026-update?utm_source=openai)) - For Japan, this translates into: - **Pressure on Japan–China supply chains** as production migrates into ASEAN and South Asia. - **Opportunities to grow exports of capital goods, components, and premium food/agri to ASEAN**, tracking where final assembly and consumption are moving. These shifts are pushing Japanese manufacturers and traders to **use ASEAN as both a production base and demand center** rather than relying purely on China and the US. --- **4. Company‑level behavior: changing destinations/sourcing (2026)** Recent trade and logistics commentary (rather than HS‑level customs microdata) points to **three patterns among Japanese exporters in 2026**: 1. **Re‑routing and hub changes for US‑bound cargo** - Growing use of **Chinese and other Asian hubs** for transshipment to the US (China +84.6% as a hub for Japan–US in February 2026, while Korea’s role shrinks). ([porttechnology.org](https://www.porttechnology.org/japan-us-container-trade-falls-4-1-per-cent-in-february/?utm_source=openai)) - This is often driven by **schedule reliability, available capacity, and feeder connectivity**, not necessarily a change in final destination. 2. **Shifting incremental volumes from US/EU to ASEAN and intra‑Asia** - Export analysis notes that **Japan export growth has been most pronounced in Asian markets** in Q1 2026. ([tendata.com](https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai)) - Industry commentary from global trade surveys highlights that **exporters in advanced economies are reallocating marginal capacity toward “friendlier” or faster‑growing Asian partners** as US and EU demand mature and regulation tightens. ([mckinsey.com](https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/geopolitics-and-the-geometry-of-global-trade-2026-update?utm_source=openai)) 3. **Supply‑chain diversification away from China as sole sourcing base** - McKinsey’s 2026 trade update describes a **structural “double squeeze” on China‑centered supply chains**, with production and exports increasingly spread across ASEAN and other Asia-Pacific economies. ([mckinsey.com](https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/geopolitics-and-the-geometry-of-global-trade-2026-update?utm_source=openai)) - Japanese OEMs in autos, electronics, and machinery are noted as **expanding sourcing from Vietnam, Thailand, and India** (components and sub‑assemblies), which in turn redirects some Japan export flows (e.g., intermediate goods) towards those hubs. Because customs‑level, company‑by‑company HS code data are paywalled, most **named‑company examples** in open sources are anecdotal and sector‑specific (e.g., automotive OEMs diversifying parts sourcing). Where these come from B2B data directories, they should be treated as **unverified** under your source‑priority rule. **Net read for market events in 2026 so far** - **Japan→US:** volumes down around **10% YTD** despite modest Asia‑wide growth; routing via China up sharply. ([lnews.jp](https://www.lnews.jp/2026/04/s0414706.html?utm_source=openai)) - **Japan→EU:** relatively soft demand; carriers relying on blank sailings and GRIs (see next section) to support rates, not underlying volume strength. ([spglobal.com](https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/shipping/010926-containers-quarterly-asia-europe-enters-2026-with-seasonal-firmness-structural-uncertainty?utm_source=openai)) - **Japan→ASEAN/Asia:** relative bright spot, with **export growth concentrated in Asian partners** and Japanese firms increasing both sourcing from and sales into ASEAN. ([tendata.com](https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai)) **Sources (Market Events):** ([tendata.com](https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai)) === [DEMAND SIGNALS] Container freight rates & capacity (Asia–N. America / Asia–Europe, 2026) === **1. Overall level of spot rates (early–mid 2026)** - **Drewry World Container Index (WCI)** on 5 February 2026: - Composite index **down 7% WoW to USD 1,959 per FEU (40' container)**, the **fourth consecutive weekly decline**. ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/container-freight-rates-from-asia-continue-to-fall-in-february-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - TrasportoEuropa and Shipping Intelligence Hub both note that this level is **near or below carrier break‑even** on major east–west lanes, given current bunker and operating costs. ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/sea/container-freight-rates-rise-sharply-at-the-start-of-2026/?utm_source=openai)) By route (February 2026 snapshots from Drewry‑based reports): - **Asia → North America (Transpacific)** - Spot rates sliding into early February; several sources point to **Asia–US West Coast and East Coast rates in the range of low‑ to mid‑USD 1,000s per FEU**, well down from early‑January GRIs. ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/container-freight-rates-from-asia-continue-to-fall-in-february-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - **Asia → Europe** - Asia–Europe port‑to‑port rates fell **~11% in Week 6 of 2026**, with Asia–Europe rates in some contracts projected to fall **30–40% within 4–6 weeks** from early‑January peaks, according to freight market outlooks. ([cdn.phaata.com](https://cdn.phaata.com/files/market/2026/Phaata-Logistics-Market-Update-Week-6-2026-EN.pdf?utm_source=openai)) **2. Rate volatility & trend through Q1–Q2 2026** - **Sharp GRI-driven spike in early January 2026:** - Asia–Europe and Asia–US spot rates **“rose sharply at the start of 2026”** on the back of announced GRIs and seasonal pre‑Lunar New Year cargo front‑loading, despite **weak underlying volumes**. ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/sea/container-freight-rates-rise-sharply-at-the-start-of-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - **Decline through February:** - By early February, composite WCI at **USD 1,959/FEU** was **7% lower WoW and continuing a multi‑month downtrend since July 2024**, reflecting persistent overcapacity. ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/container-freight-rates-from-asia-continue-to-fall-in-february-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - **Late‑April/May firmness from capacity cuts, not demand:** - A late‑April Freightos/FBX update shows **Asia–US West Coast spot rates up 1% WoW and Asia–US East Coast up 3%**, while **Asia–Europe rates were ~15% higher YoY and >50% above October lows**. The commentary attributes this to **blank sailings and surcharges**, with demand still in a low‑season environment. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1sy97nu/freightos_weekly_update_april_28_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) - Summerwin’s May 12, 2026 briefing notes that **spot rates have “ticked up” across Transpacific and Asia–Europe**, but stresses the rebound is **“not demand driven”** and instead reflects **aggressive capacity cuts and temporary surcharges**. ([summerwin.com](https://www.summerwin.com/blogs/blank-sailings-cargo-rolling-trans-pacific-asia-europe-2026/?utm_source=openai)) **3. Blank sailings and capacity management** Multiple sources converge on **unusually heavy blank sailings and slow steaming** in early 2026: - **Asia–US (Transpacific)** - J.M. Rodgers’ February 2026 market update reports **100+ voyage cancellations across Asia–US lanes just in February**, calling it **“one of the most aggressive post‑Lunar New Year adjustments in recent years.”** ([jmrodgers.com](https://www.jmrodgers.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/JMR-Freight-Market-Update-February-2026-v1.0.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Shipping Intelligence Hub cites **18–28 blank sailings on Transpacific** and **9–16 on Asia–Europe** announced for the three weeks leading into early February 2026 to counter weak demand. ([shippingintelligencehub.com](https://shippingintelligencehub.com/article/container-freight-rates-decline-overcapacity-2026-02-09?utm_source=openai)) - **Asia–Europe** - Drewry Capacity Insight (via TrasportoEuropa) shows **eight blank sailings on Asia–Europe/Mediterranean in a single week (mid‑February)**, plus **31 cancellations on Asia–US East & West Coast** services in that same week. ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/container-freight-rates-fall-again-in-mid-february-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - Phaata’s Week 6 2026 barometer notes **“dense blank sailings in Weeks 7–9”** are creating a **floor under spot rates**, preventing complete rate collapse despite overcapacity. ([cdn.phaata.com](https://cdn.phaata.com/files/market/2026/Phaata-Logistics-Market-Update-Week-6-2026-EN.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - **Capacity outlook for 2026** - S&P Global and AlixPartners both underline that **global container capacity growth outstrips demand** in 2026 and that **carriers will rely heavily on blank sailings and slow steaming** to manage the imbalance; otherwise rates will remain under long‑term pressure. ([spglobal.com](https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/shipping/010926-containers-quarterly-asia-europe-enters-2026-with-seasonal-firmness-structural-uncertainty?utm_source=openai)) **4. Demand signals for shippers** For commodity and agri exporters in Japan and the wider region, current signals are: - **Buyer demand remains subdued** on both Transpacific and Asia–Europe; where volumes are up (e.g., Asia–US overall), they are modest (Asia→US +1.3% YoY in March) and uneven by origin (Japan –14.1% YoY). ([lnews.jp](https://www.lnews.jp/2026/04/s0414706.html?utm_source=openai)) - **Spot rates are volatile around a low base**, whipsawed by GRIs and temporary capacity reductions rather than by structural demand recovery. - **Shipper leverage has improved** versus 2021–22: several outlooks describe 2026 as a **buyer’s market** on ocean freight, with scope for: - **Renegotiating contracts** closer to current spot levels. - **Route and carrier diversification** (especially for Japan–US and Japan–EU moves), as carriers compete to fill capacity. ([gocubic.io](https://www.gocubic.io/guides/market-intelligence/2026-freight-market-outlook?utm_source=openai)) **Sources (Demand Signals):** ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/sea/container-freight-rates-rise-sharply-at-the-start-of-2026/?utm_source=openai)) === [TIMING SIGNALS] Japan customs/regulatory changes, FTAs, port & weather disruptions (2026) === **1. 2026 customs & trade defense reforms affecting Japan traders** - A 2026 trade law update (summarizing Japanese amendments effective **1 April 2026**) highlights: ([thetradehub.eu](https://www.thetradehub.eu/en/news/japan-anti-dumping-reform-provisional-tariffs-and-new-2026-export-rules?utm_source=openai)) - **Anti‑dumping & anti‑circumvention reform:** - New tools allow authorities to impose **additional duties on goods that change their country of dispatch or CN/HS code to evade anti‑dumping measures**. - This targets “rotating” goods via third countries or minimal processing to sidestep duties—relevant for **steel, chemicals, and potentially processed agri/food** subject to trade remedies. - **End of de minimis customs threshold (for anti‑dumping enforcement):** - Small‑value shipments can now be captured by anti‑dumping rules, affecting **e‑commerce‑scale agri‑food consignments** that previously fell below thresholds. - **Extension of provisional tariffs:** - Authorities may **extend the duration of provisional tariffs** while an investigation is ongoing, increasing **duty‑rate uncertainty over a longer horizon**. - **Implications for exporters/importers:** - Exporters shipping to Japan from anti‑dumping‑exposed categories must **scrutinize actual origin and HS classification**; Japanese importers need stronger **compliance documentation** (origin proof, production evidence, consistent HS codes). *(Note: The article uses EU “CN” terminology in explaining the concept, but the core change reported is within Japan’s own customs law; exporters should cross‑check against official Japanese customs/JTRA notices as they are published.)* --- **2. Digital customs, e‑certificates, and trade facilitation** In the last 12–18 months, Japan has moved further into **digital customs and electronic documentation**, though most concrete 2026‑dated steps are extensions of earlier programs. Recent reports indicate: - **Expansion of electronic Certificates of Origin (e‑CO) under EPAs/FTAs:** - Japan Customs continues to **accept and promote digital proofs of origin** under key EPAs (e.g., with ASEAN, EU, UK, and CPTPP partners). 2026 commentary from trade facilitators emphasizes that **more chambers/authorities are integrated with Japan’s digital platforms**, reducing processing time and physical document requirements for exporters. ([thetradehub.eu](https://www.thetradehub.eu/en/news/japan-anti-dumping-reform-provisional-tariffs-and-new-2026-export-rules?utm_source=openai)) - **Single‑window and automated risk management upgrades:** - As part of broader customs modernization, Japan is **enhancing its electronic single‑window and risk‑based inspections**, with implementation milestones through 2026–28. - A key change in the same reform package is that **valuation and documentation rules are being tightened**, with a major revision to customs valuation procedures scheduled to take full effect on **1 April 2028**, but preparatory guidance and system changes beginning in 2026. ([thetradehub.eu](https://www.thetradehub.eu/en/news/japan-anti-dumping-reform-provisional-tariffs-and-new-2026-export-rules?utm_source=openai)) Exporters/importers should therefore: - Expect **more digital documentation** (e‑COs, electronic manifests) to be required/standardized. - Prepare for **more data‑driven scrutiny** of origin and valuation, especially where anti‑dumping or tariff preferences are involved. --- **3. FTAs and geopolitical timing signals (2026)** While no brand‑new mega‑FTA involving Japan has entered into force in early 2026, several **timing‑relevant dynamics** affect Japanese traders: - **Utilization of existing mega‑agreements** - RCEP (in force since 2022), CPTPP, and the Japan–EU EPA continue to be the main frameworks. Trade policy commentary in 2026 underscores **rising utilization rates of these agreements by Japanese exporters**, especially **into ASEAN under RCEP rules of origin**, as supply chains diversify from China. ([mckinsey.com](https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/geopolitics-and-the-geometry-of-global-trade-2026-update?utm_source=openai)) - **Defense/export relaxation to partner countries** - The 2026 customs/trade reform also mentions **new rules allowing transfer of certain lethal equipment to 17 partner countries under strict government conditions**. While this is defense‑sector specific, it signals a broader **policy shift toward closer security and economic ties with select partners**, potentially spilling over into trade preferences and cooperation in dual‑use goods. ([thetradehub.eu](https://www.thetradehub.eu/en/news/japan-anti-dumping-reform-provisional-tariffs-and-new-2026-export-rules?utm_source=openai)) For food and agri exporters, the practical timing signal is **not a new FTA**, but **incremental regulatory streamlining and higher scrutiny** under existing frameworks. --- **4. Port congestion, weather, and typhoon‑related disruptions in 2026** Open sources for the first part of 2026 show **limited large‑scale congestion or typhoon‑driven shutdowns in Japanese ports so far**, but global analysts flag Japan as **vulnerable later in the 2026 typhoon season**: - **Current status (through April–May 2026)** - Freight barometers and market updates (Transpacific/Asia–Europe) focus far more on **overcapacity and blank sailings** than on congestion at Japanese ports; there are **no major Japan‑specific congestion alerts** reported in early‑2026 supply‑chain summaries. ([market-insights.upply.com](https://market-insights.upply.com/hubfs/barometres-upply/2026/0226_Barom%C3%A8tre%20shipping/shipping-barometer-february-2026.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - **Forward‑looking risks** - Climate and risk reports for 2026 note a **high probability of above‑average typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific**, with Japanese ports (Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka, Nagoya) repeatedly cited as **critical nodes** where **even 2–3 day closures could compound schedule disruptions** in a blank‑sailing‑heavy environment. (These are scenario‑based assessments rather than observed events to date.) ([gocubic.io](https://www.gocubic.io/guides/market-intelligence/2026-freight-market-outlook?utm_source=openai)) Given the already thin deployment and rolling blank sailings: - Any **late‑Q3 or Q4 2026 typhoon events** that close Japanese ports temporarily could have **outsized impacts on schedule reliability and feeder connectivity**, even if global capacity remains ample. - Exporters should therefore **front‑load sensitive shipments** (perishables, seasonal food products) and **ensure booking buffers** around the main typhoon window (roughly July–October), especially on Japan–US and Japan–EU lanes. --- **5. Practical timing takeaways for Japan‑linked exporters/importers (2026)** - **From 1 April 2026 onward:** - Expect **tighter enforcement against origin/HS “tweaking” to evade duties** and the possibility of **longer provisional tariff phases** during investigations. ([thetradehub.eu](https://www.thetradehub.eu/en/news/japan-anti-dumping-reform-provisional-tariffs-and-new-2026-export-rules?utm_source=openai)) - **2026–28:** - Gradual implementation of **digital customs enhancements and valuation rule changes**, requiring **better data quality** in commercial invoices and origin documentation. ([thetradehub.eu](https://www.thetradehub.eu/en/news/japan-anti-dumping-reform-provisional-tariffs-and-new-2026-export-rules?utm_source=openai)) - **Throughout 2026:** - Ocean capacity is abundant; **rates are low but volatile** due to carrier‑driven capacity manipulation, offering **tactical windows for contract negotiation**. ([gocubic.io](https://www.gocubic.io/guides/market-intelligence/2026-freight-market-outlook?utm_source=openai)) - **Typhoon season remains the main physical risk trigger** for Japan ports; monitoring seasonal forecasts and carrier advisories will be critical for high‑value and perishable agri‑food shipments. **Sources (Timing Signals):** ([thetradehub.eu](https://www.thetradehub.eu/en/news/japan-anti-dumping-reform-provisional-tariffs-and-new-2026-export-rules?utm_source=openai)) Sources: • Japan–US container trade falls 4 per cent in February - Port Technology International https://www.porttechnology.org/japan-us-container-trade-falls-4-1-per-cent-in-february/?utm_source=openai • Japan–US container trade falls 4 per cent in February - Port Technology International https://www.porttechnology.org/japan-us-container-trade-falls-4-1-per-cent-in-february/?utm_source=openai • アジア発米国向け海上コンテナ輸送／3月の輸送量1.3％増 ─ 物流ニュースのＬＮＥＷＳ物流ニュースのＬＮＥＷＳ https://www.lnews.jp/2026/04/s0414706.html?utm_source=openai • Japan Export Market Analysis 2026 Q1 - by Country & Company | Tendata| Tendata https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai • Japan Export Market Analysis 2026 Q1 - by Country & Company | Tendata| Tendata https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai • The future of global trade in 2026 | McKinsey https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/geopolitics-and-the-geometry-of-global-trade-2026-update?utm_source=openai • Japan–US container trade falls 4 per cent in February - Port Technology International https://www.porttechnology.org/japan-us-container-trade-falls-4-1-per-cent-in-february/?utm_source=openai • Japan Export Market Analysis 2026 Q1 - by Country & Company | Tendata| Tendata https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai • The future of global trade in 2026 | McKinsey https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/geopolitics-and-the-geometry-of-global-trade-2026-update?utm_source=openai • The future of global trade in 2026 | McKinsey https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/geopolitics-and-the-geometry-of-global-trade-2026-update?utm_source=openai • アジア発米国向け海上コンテナ輸送／3月の輸送量1.3％増 ─ 物流ニュースのＬＮＥＷＳ物流ニュースのＬＮＥＷＳ https://www.lnews.jp/2026/04/s0414706.html?utm_source=openai • CONTAINERS QUARTERLY: Asia-Europe enters 2026 with seasonal firmness, structural uncertainty | S&P Global https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/shipping/010926-containers-quarterly-asia-europe-enters-2026-with-seasonal-firmness-structural-uncertainty?utm_source=openai • Japan Export Market Analysis 2026 Q1 - by Country & Company | Tendata| Tendata https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai • Japan Export Market Analysis 2026 Q1 - by Country & Company | Tendata| Tendata https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/10884.html?utm_source=openai • Container freight rates from Asia continue to fall in February 2026 - TrasportoEuropa https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/container-freight-rates-from-asia-continue-to-fall-in-february-2026/?utm_source=openai • Container freight rates rise sharply at the start of 2026 - TrasportoEuropa https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/sea/container-freight-rates-rise-sharply-at-the-start-of-2026/?utm_source=openai • Container freight rates from Asia continue to fall in February 2026 - TrasportoEuropa https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/container-freight-rates-from-asia-continue-to-fall-in-february-2026/?utm_source=openai • 12/02/2026 Week 6 INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS MARKET U https://cdn.phaata.com/files/market/2026/Phaata-Logistics-Market-Update-Week-6-2026-EN.pdf?utm_source=openai • Container freight rates rise sharply at the start of 2026 - TrasportoEuropa https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/sea/container-freight-rates-rise-sharply-at-the-start-of-2026/?utm_source=openai • Container freight rates from Asia continue to fall in February 2026 - TrasportoEuropa https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/container-freight-rates-from-asia-continue-to-fall-in-february-2026/?utm_source=openai
