The Truth Behind September’s Unexpected Freight Spike
Why did freight rates suddenly spike in September?
Hosts, Phil Hennessey and Emily Stausbøll, break down the surprising surge on the Transpacific trade and why it caught so many shippers off guard. They unpack what fueled the unexpected jump and what it tells us about the fragile balance between global trade lanes.
From the “dance” between Transpacific and Far East–North Europe rates to the way carriers use short-term spikes in tender negotiations, this episode gives shippers the tools to separate noise from signal. Whether you’re budgeting for 2026 contracts or just trying to understand the latest market whiplash, you’ll walk away with the context and data you need to make smarter calls in an unpredictable freight environment.
