Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The SCFIS index reported 1795 points, showing a strong and volatile pattern. Its trend is mainly influenced by the expected actual freight rates of liner companies in late January. The current main contract fluctuates violently without a one - way trend, and the price oscillates around the key central level of 1800 points. The market will remain strongly volatile, and the recommended strategy is to wait and see [9][10]. 3. Summary by Related Content a. Shipping Freight Index - **Current and Previous Values and Fluctuations**: The current value of the Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI) comprehensive index is 1656, up 6.66% from the previous value of 1553; the China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI) is 1147, up 1.95% from 1125. SCFI - US West is 2188, up 9.84% from 1992; SCFIS - US West is 1250, down 3.92% from 1301; SCFI - US East is 3033, up 6.57% from 2846; SCFI - Northwest Europe is 1690, up 10.24% from 1533; SCFIS - Northwest Europe is 1795, up 3.04% from 1742; SCFI - Mediterranean is 3143, up 10.94% from 2833 [5]. b. Spot Freight Price - **European Line Freight**: The current European line freight is in high - level oscillation. The second - half - month quotes of each alliance are generally higher than those in the first half - month. The OA alliance has the highest overall freight level, and the individual quote of MSC has a significant increase. For example, in the OA alliance, from wk1 (12/20 - 1/4) to wk2 (1/5 - 1/12), the 20GP increased from 1535 to 1824, and the 40GP increased from 2631 to 3068 [6]. c. Market Logic - **Market Fluctuation Reasons**: The market is affected by the expected actual freight rates of liner companies in late January. The main contract fluctuates violently. The morning trading on the previous day was affected by msk's fourth - week opening offer of 2800, up 100 month - on - month, indicating that airlines think the freight rate peak may appear in late January. The afternoon trading saw a price adjustment (for Gdansk Port), a decrease of 300, causing market panic. However, the volume of Gdansk in the container field is about 16% of Rotterdam and is not included in the index, so it is necessary to observe whether the prices of mainstream ports follow the decline [9]. d. Strategy - **Investment Strategy**: The recommended strategy is to wait and see [10].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The 2 - month contract is approaching delivery, and attention should be paid to the price correction in the second half of the month. The 02 contract is expected to have a delivery settlement price between 1750 - 1850 points under relatively pessimistic estimates, and its valuation support is expected to be in this range. The far - month contracts face the pressure of the Suez Canal's resumption of navigation, and their valuations may be revised downwards, but the situation of contracts in June and August remains uncertain. The 2 - month contract is expected to fluctuate strongly, and there is no arbitrage strategy currently [5][6][7][9] Summary by Directory 1. Futures Price - As of January 8, 2026, the total open interest of all contracts of the container shipping index (European line) futures was 58,139.00 lots, and the single - day trading volume was 46,089.00 lots. The closing prices of EC2602, EC2604, EC2606, EC2608, EC2610, and EC2512 contracts were 1706.00, 1163.30, 1415.00, 1527.40, 1105.20, and 1343.00 respectively [8] 2. Spot Price - Online quotes from different shipping companies vary. For example, in the Shanghai - Rotterdam route, Gemini Cooperation's Maersk's price in the fourth week of January was 1685/2710; HPL's quotes in the first and second half - months of January and the first half - month of February were 1835/3035. Different alliances and shipping companies also have different price quotes and changes [1][2] 3. Container Ship Capacity Supply - **Static Supply**: As of December 31, 2025, 268 container ships with a total capacity of 2.155 million TEU were delivered in 2025. In terms of delivery expectations, the delivery pressure of ultra - large ships in 2026 is relatively small, while the annual delivery volume of ships over 17,000 TEU in 2027, 2028, and 2029 exceeds 40 ships [3] - **Dynamic Supply**: The average weekly capacity in January was 318,600 TEU, and in February it was 283,500 TEU, and in March it was 279,000 TEU. There were 4 blank sailings in January, 4 TBNs and 6 blank sailings in February, and 4 blank sailings and 5 TBNs in March [4] 4. Supply Chain - The cease - fire mediation plan in Gaza is progressing, and the probability of the Suez Canal resuming navigation in 2026 is relatively high. Currently, some shipping routes have started to resume operations, which will put pressure on the far - month contract prices [7] 5. Demand and European Economy - The cargo volume in December and January is at a relatively high level within the year. The delivery settlement price of the February contract basically reflects the spot price center at the end of January. The demand situation is affected by factors such as the approaching Spring Festival [5]

Core Viewpoint - The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has postponed the vote on the net-zero framework for global shipping emissions by one year, indicating a slowdown in the decarbonization process of the shipping industry and reflecting complex negotiations among various stakeholders [1][2]. Group 1: Delay of the Net-Zero Framework - The IMO approved a draft net-zero framework in April 2025, aiming for the shipping industry to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, but the voting scheduled for October 2025 has been delayed by one year due to opposition from multiple countries, particularly the United States [2][3]. - The delay is attributed to procedural disputes and differing positions among developed and developing countries regarding emission responsibilities, cost-sharing, and technological pathways [2][6]. Group 2: Compliance System and Costs - The net-zero framework draft applies to ocean-going vessels over 5,000 gross tons, which account for over 85% of global shipping emissions, and includes stringent greenhouse gas intensity standards and a carbon pricing mechanism [3][5]. - The compliance system establishes annual targets for reducing greenhouse gas intensity (GFI) and introduces remedial units for vessels exceeding emissions limits, with prices set at $100 per ton for Tier 1 units and $380 per ton for Tier 2 units [4][5]. Group 3: Stakeholder Dynamics - The negotiations surrounding the net-zero framework have evolved into a deeper contest over the future rules of global shipping and the competitiveness of green economies, with developed countries seeking to leverage their technological advantages [6][7]. - Developing countries, represented by China, advocate for a balanced approach that recognizes different developmental stages and emphasizes the need for technology transfer and capacity building to ensure equitable participation in the green transition [7][8]. Group 4: Strategic Implications of the Delay - The postponement of the vote reflects the fragility of global climate governance consensus and may lead to uncertainty in investment decisions related to low-carbon fuel supply chains and vessel technology upgrades [8]. - The outcome of the net-zero framework will depend on resolving key issues in the coming year, including the willingness of developed countries to support developing nations and the ability of developing countries to propose constructive transition plans [8].
