US midterm shift adds trade uncertainty as trans-Pacific ocean freight rates stay elevated
FreightWaves’ Stuart Chirls (12 Nov) cites Freightos: trans-Pacific rates eased slightly last week as GRIs failed to stick but stayed near peak-season levels at about US$8,200/FEU to the US West Coast and US$9,700 to the East Coast; the US–China reciprocal port-fee suspension runs to 10 Jan 2027, and the midterm result adds uncertainty to negotiations with China.

The pause also continues to cover additional duties on Chinese ship-to-shore cranes and other cargo-handling equipment, while China extended its reciprocal port fees on U.S.-linked vessels until 10 January. USTR noted the U.S. fees could amount to millions of dollars for a single vessel call.

Maersk NA November update: Canada West Coast space tight; Asia typhoon dwell
Maersk’s North America Market Update (6 Nov) says space to Canada’s West Coast remains limited by Pacific network constraints, with Montreal–Pitt Meadows routing offered as an alternative for suitable shipments and bookings advised 3–4 weeks ahead. On the transpacific, Asia–North America still sees strong demand and intermittent delays after Asia typhoon-related terminal waiting; for Canada, Maersk notes inland drayage is generally available but weather-related Asia disruption may create uneven imports and elevated West Coast dwell, with a temporary Canadian drayage fuel surcharge at 24% of inland haulage effective 1 Nov 2026.
