Forward Guidance

Currently in the Transpacific tradelane, we are seeing solid demand for our China service as China’s factory production continues to recover from the COVID-19-related supply chain challenges. However, in recent weeks we have seen a gradual decline in the Transpacific freight rate environment off the highs experienced earlier this year. This indicates that rates have likely peaked for now, and, at this time, we expect an orderly marketplace for the remainder of the year with our vessels continuing to operate at or near capacity and earning a significant rate premium to the market because of our differentiated, fast ocean services. To this end, we continue to expect to operate the CCX service through the October peak season this year.
