  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The spot price was weak before the festival, and funds were betting on the post - festival price increase in advance [1] - The delivery pressure of ultra - large vessels in 2026 is relatively small, while the annual delivery volume of 17000 + TEU vessels in 2027, 2028, and 2029 exceeds 40 ships [3] - The 02 contract fluctuates, and the 04 contract has a bearish drive. The cancellation of the VAT export tax rebate policy for products such as photovoltaic may disrupt the off - season attribute of the 04 contract, and the fluctuation of the 04 contract is expected to increase. The attempt of Maersk to resume sailing through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal will disrupt the expectations of more distant contracts [4][5] 3.
