China–US “30-for-30” tariff cuts too late to lift weakening transpacific rates
The Loadstar’s Alison Koo (29 Sep) reports China and the US agreed mutual tariff cuts on about $30bn of goods (1,696 product lines, over 90% to MFN rates) after domestic legal steps; she notes SCFI Shanghai–USWC/USEC dipped about 1% to $7,463 / $10,497 per 40ft, Linerlytica saying the cuts come too late for the ending peak as Golden Week starts 1 Oct, and Maersk withdrawing its Transpacific Express Asia–USWC extra loader (~4,000 TEU/week) next month.

Asian box port congestion could take 7–10 months to unwind
Splash247’s Sam Chambers reports Sea-Intelligence putting 8.5% of the global containership fleet (~3m TEU) absorbed by delays, with recovery after pandemic/Red Sea precedents implying seven to ten months to unwind to mid-2025 lows — likely only partially cleared before Chinese New Year 2027. Intra-Asia rates are at records (Drewry Shanghai–Laem Chabang +22% to $1,609/FEU); Xeneta’s Peter Sand says Asia–US rates remain near pandemic-era highs for 2027 tenders.
