Group 2: Market News - The "Gemini Alliance" of Maersk and Hapag - Lloyd announced seasonal suspension plans for the upcoming National Day Golden Week. There are 4 voyages on the Asia - Europe route (weeks 38 - 41) and 6 voyages on the Trans - Pacific route (4 to the US West Coast and 2 to the US East Coast from Asia between September 30 and October 14). HMM also plans to suspend 5 voyages on the China - Europe route during the Golden Week [5]. - The US Trade Representative's Office extended the exclusion list measures in the investigation of China's behavior, policies, and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation until November 29, 2025 [5]. - Houthi rebels claimed to have attacked the container ship MSC Aby with two drones and a winged missile, but the ship seems to have reached the destination port [5]. - According to a recent ruling of the Federal Circuit Court, the existing tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) will remain valid until at least October 15, 2025. October 14, 2025, is a key date in the US shipping calendar, being the deadline for appealing the court's recent tariff ruling and the effective date for the US Trade Representative to impose 301 tariff fines on Chinese - built ships [5]. Group 3: Market Review and Strategy - **Market Review**: The market showed a weak and volatile trend. Maersk's opening price for week 38 dropped by 200 week - on - week to 1700, narrowing the afternoon's gains. Tuesday's rise was driven by MSC's suspension of two voyages for the National Day, the increased expectation of non - resumption of navigation in the Red Sea after Houthi attacks, and the court's ruling that Trump's so - called "reciprocal" tariffs were illegal. However, market optimism faded, refocusing on spot quotes. Spot freight rates have not stopped falling, and pre - October 1 stocking may lead to rate drops in mid - to late September, while some US - bound ships being transferred to European routes increases supply and further pressures freight rates [6][7]. - **Strategy**: Short contract 10 on rallies and conduct a rolling 10 - 12 reverse spread [8].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The freight rate center continues to decline, with the HMM price revised down to $1700/FEU. The 10 - month contract is under downward pressure, and short - allocation is relatively safe, but attention should be paid to the price level at which shipping companies try to stabilize prices. The 12 - month contract follows the off - peak and peak season pattern, but the risk lies in the bottom of the current freight rate decline. The main contract shows a weak and fluctuating trend, and it is advisable to short the 10 - month contract at high prices [1][4][5]. - 2025 is a major year for container ship deliveries, with 180 ships delivered so far, totaling 1.452 million TEU of capacity [7]. Summary by Directory 1. Futures Prices - As of September 4, 2025, the total open interest of all container shipping index European route futures contracts is 80,613 lots, and the daily trading volume is 37,244 lots. The closing prices of EC2602, EC2604, EC2606, EC2508, EC2510, and EC2512 contracts are $1518.70, $1247.80, $1443.00, $1607.40, $1300.70, and $1676.00 respectively [6]. 2. Spot Prices - Online quotes from various shipping companies show a general downward trend in freight rates. For example, Maersk's Shanghai - Rotterdam prices in weeks 37 and 38 have decreased, and many shipping companies' prices in September and October have also declined. The current 9 - month freight rate center has dropped to around $1900/FEU [1][4]. 3. Container Ship Capacity Supply - MSC and the Gemini Alliance have announced blank sailings during the Chinese Golden Week. In September, there are 3 blank sailings, and in October, there are 10 blank sailings and 7 TBNs. HPL has announced two additional ships in October, with a total capacity of about 11,500 TEU. As of August 31, 2025, 180 container ships have been delivered in 2025, with a total capacity of 1.452 million TEU [3][7]. 4. Supply Chain - Geopolitical factors, such as the Israeli military's actions in Gaza, may affect the shipping supply chain. The Israeli military is expanding its operations in Gaza, which may lead to potential impacts on shipping routes and trade [2]. 5. Demand and European Economy - The US NRF estimates that the demand for container imports in the US from September to December 2025 will decline by about 20% compared to the same period in 2024. The demand in the US line is weak, and if ships from the US line are transferred to the European line in the fourth quarter, it may put pressure on European line prices [5].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall pattern in September is loose, and the driving force is weak for at least the next two weeks. The decline in October depends on shipping companies' suspension of voyages, but the valuation is close to the annual low (1250 - 1300), with limited downside space. - The December contract follows the downward trend in the short - term, but considering the peak season and long - term contract negotiation season, investors can look for low - buying opportunities [1]. 3.
