Rate escalation expected as demand rises for TP Eastbound Cargo

As the typical peak season is passing with marginal impact on ocean freight costs, TP Eastbound carriers are primed for a series of General Rate Increases (GRIs) though the end of 2015.  Stockpiled inventories depleting and a renewed demand as the holiday season approaches has come just in time for the ocean carriers. The opportunity to recoup lost revenues along with greater demand provide a strong indicator for large across the board fourth quarter GRIs.

In laymen’s terms, rates are going up as companies demand more product and carriers strive to restore their rate levels.
