Your Mid-Year Ocean Outlook is Here! 

Deeper data. Sharper analysis. Built for Xeneta customers. 

Ocean-mid-year-outlook-26

As a Xeneta customer, you get more than the market summary. Your extended Mid-Year Ocean Freight Outlook goes deeper into the data behind every theme — so you walk into H2 negotiations with the full picture.

What's covered in your extended report:

• Corridor-level rates across Transpacific, Transatlantic, Far East–Europe and Middle East trades

• How US tariffs are reshaping trade flows by origin and destination

• Alliance reliability by trade and service — what's genuinely improving vs. engineered through blank sailings

• Port congestion across Southeast Asia and the Gulf — who's recovering, who's still under pressure

• Fleet and orderbook: 13m TEU on order vs. 33.6m TEU active fleet, and what it means for 2027 capacity

• The three-phase Hormuz recovery timeline before carriers commit to a full return
