- Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Maersk's WEEK6 quotation dropped more than expected, leading to a downward revision of the valuation of the delivery settlement price of the 02 contract. The cargo volume in December and January was at a relatively high level within the year [4]. - Canceling the VAT export tax - rebate policy for products such as photovoltaics may disrupt the off - season characteristics of the 04 contract, and the fluctuation of the 04 contract is expected to increase. Maersk's attempt to resume navigation through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal will disrupt the expectations of more distant contracts [6]. - In normal years, April and October are the months with the lowest freight rates. After the cancellation of the VAT export tax - rebate, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the cargo volume from the Far East to Europe in February and March can significantly increase and whether the actual freight rates will be firmer than in normal years. Before the Spring Festival, the overall driving force is expected to be bearish, and the short - selling direction has certain advantages. After the Spring Festival, attention should be paid to the behavioral changes of shipping companies [6]. - The delivery pressure of ultra - large vessels in 2026 is relatively small, but the annual delivery volume of vessels over 17,000 TEU in 2027, 2028, and 2029 exceeds 40 ships. The delivery volume of vessels over 17,000 TEU in the first half of 2026 is only 4 ships [3]. 3.

The closing prices of EC2602, EC2604, EC2606, EC2608, EC2610, and EC2512 contracts were 1710.00, 1112.60, 1317.40, 1467.90, 1052.90, and 1318.00 respectively [7]. 3.2 Spot Prices - Online quotations: For Maersk's Shanghai - Rotterdam route, the WEEK4 price was 1695/2730, WEEK5 was 1515/2430, and WEEK6 was 1265/2010.

It is necessary to pay attention to whether the cargo volume from the Far East to Europe in February and March can significantly increase and whether the actual freight rates will be firmer than in normal years [6].
