2025/11/13

Got good news and bad news for your today, freight podcast friend. Good news? The Houthis said they would stop firing on ships in the Red Sea (but container liners aren't holding their breath). The bad news? A 48% increase in China - US West Coast rates (and a confusing 3% drop on China - US East Coast). Ready for a game of GRI Madness? Then how about throwing in a healthy dose of tariff Supreme Court indicators to round it out? Also, do us a solid and share this episode with someone. Chapt...

2025/11/06

That's not how this was supposed to work. I'm taking my ball and going home. Ocean freight rates climbed despite increased stability, with some major drivers of stability for the next year on China-US trade. Judah breaks down air cargo rates, ocean rates, why the GRIs might be sticking and which ones aren't. Also, yolo, no port fees! Party time! This podcast is a little experiment from Freightos—and may not be around forever—so if you dig quick bites of freight wisdom, let us know. For...

Bro, how am I supposed to run a podcast if everything changes every day? Less than 24 after the last weekly podcast was published, a trade summit between China and the United States changed everything. So we tacked on our quick view on what that means at the end of this episode. Just another reminder of how everything can change, every day.

Episode #8: "The Soybeans and Port Fees Episode"

2025/10/29

Soybeans! Port fees! GRIs! This week has all the drama that Shakespeare forgot. Journal of Commerce put out estimates of $42M (!) in reciprocal port-call fees, we touch on the upcoming 🇺🇸-🇨🇳 summit and more. Plus...blanked sailings pushed Transpacific and Asia–Europe spot rates up (Asia→USWC jumped ~18%, and Asia→EU is back towards ~$2,300/FEU). We also talk early peak season demand in air cargo pushing China→US air rates to about $5.60/kg. Come on, just listen, bro. This podcast ...

What's up in freight? Thought you'd neve ask. Asia→US West Coast popped from ~$1,400 to >$2,000/FEU and Asia→Europe to ~$2,300—driven by mid‑month GRIs and capacity pulls, not tariffs. We break down why this smells opportunistic in slow season, whether Nov 1 sticks, and what carriers are blanking next, we talk about the impact of the new port‑call fees' minimal impact and air demand’s increase...with rates still still staying stable. Also, if you are still reading this, share our pod...

2025/10/16

Sorry, we kinda said it all in the title. But you're here so let's keep going. Ceasefire chatter isn’t sending carriers sprinting back through Suez...and even when they do, expect a short scheduling mess, then more capacity and more downward pressure. We break down where rates are (hello, 2023 vibes), the tariff/port‑call fee volley (USTR vs. China, rare earths), who’s actually exposed, and what to do now. Also, be kind, leave a review! This podcast is a little experiment from Freightos—and...

Episode #3: From TikTok to USTR

Container Bytes ·

2025/09/18

TikTok negotiations might be thawing US-China trade tensions (swipe up?), but don't expect freight rates to plummet until that 30% tariff stops trending (see what I did there?). Transpacific rates surprised with a 30% September jump despite a weak peak season, hitting $2,300/container. Meanwhile, the upcoming USTR port call fees for Chinese vessels (starting Oct 14th) are scrambling carrier routes. And that de minimis rule change...has helicopters patrolling.

Episode #1: Peak Season + Experiment

Container Bytes ·

2025/07/10

Trump just delayed tariffs (again)—but does it even matter for ocean freight? Rates are seesawing from $2,400 to $6,000 and back faster than you can say “blank sailings,” while peak season feels more like a fleeting ghost than a reliable bump. Judah Levine breaks down why shippers might shrug off the tariff extension, how ocean carriers are scrambling, and why Middle East air cargo rates just spiked hard (thanks, geopolitics). All that and more—in less than 10 minutes.AI WebinarMore freight dataThis
