According to Sea-Intelligence, transpacific container shipping has experienced sharp fluctuations in demand and freight rates due to shifting US-China trade policies.

Tariff uncertainty drives shifts in Transpacific capacity

On 9 April 2025, the US imposed 145% tariffs on Chinese imports, significantly dampening container demand on Asia-North America trade lanes.

Shipping lines responded by withdrawing capacity, particularly on the Asia-North America West Coast (NAWC) route.

However, the US government's 12 May decision to pause tariffs for 90 days led to an immediate surge in demand, outpacing available supply and driving up spot rates. In response, carriers quickly reinstated capacity on key Transpacific routes.
