Recently, under the influence of the intensified US tariff policies and geopolitical uncertainty, the supply and demand fundamentals have continued to be weak, the international shipping market has continued to adjust, and freight rates on most routes have fallen, especially in Europe and the United States. Freight rates in September may still be under pressure and decline in the future, so we need to pay attention to the subsequent shipping department strategy and market cargo support.
