1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report - The container shipping index (European Line) showed weak performance, with the main 2510 contract closing at 1285.0 points, a decline of 3.31%, and an increase of 523 lots in positions; the second - main 2512 contract closed at 1571.0 points, a decline of 3.85%, and an increase of 1880 lots in positions [8]. - In the short - term, the futures price is oscillating downward due to the expected decline in spot prices. In the medium - term, if the loading rate further drops and FAK freight approaches the shipping companies' cash - flow cost line of 1300 - 1600 dollars/FEU, some shipping companies may increase the suspension of voyages, and the further downward space of freight may be limited [11]. - The strategy is to stop profit on short positions of 2510 at low prices, and pay attention to the opportunity of 12 - 04 positive spread entry in the next 1 - 2 weeks [13]. 3.

The PA Alliance transferred 2 ships from the US line to the European line. The weekly average capacity in September reached 298,000 TEU/week, a decline of about 5% compared with August, still significantly lower than the capacity decline in the same period in 2024 [10]. - In October, the number of undetermined voyages was 4, and the number of empty voyages was 5. Without considering undetermined voyages, the weekly average capacity was 296,000 TEU/week [10]. 3.3 Demand - Side and Market Situation - In late August, the overall market loading rate was close to 95%. Since the loading rate was still above the warning line and shipping companies' profit levels were still considerable, shipping companies had no action to increase the number of empty voyages [11]. - In September, the freight rate was in a downward trend. Considering the capacity distribution, the downward pressure on freight rates was still large due to the increase in capacity in the second half of the month and shipping companies' need to stock up for the National Day holiday [11]. 3.4 Historical Market Review - In 2024, the weighted index of the European line stopped falling on September 10. There was a short - term speculation on the US - West port strike in late September. After the strike was resolved during the National Day, the premium was given back. Then, shipping companies announced price increases, with Maersk announcing a price increase to 4500 dollars/FEU effective from November 4, and the actual price in early November was around 4000 dollars/FEU [12]. - In years when the Spring Festival was late, the December contract still had a certain premium over the October contract, but the February contract was not necessarily a weak contract [12].
