November Sees GRI Surge: Up to USD 500–2,000 Per TEU
The China–Australia trade lane is heating up as 2025’s peak season kicks in. MSC’s rate correction has set off a wave of increases, with other carriers quickly following suit.
📈 Early November sailings are seeing GRIs between USD 500–1,000 per container, while premium carriers climb to nearly USD 2,000 per TEU.
🚢 Strong demand, limited capacity, and pre-Christmas pressure are sustaining elevated rates for East Australia arrivals.
While the market may stabilise in late November, exporters and importers should brace for:
Higher freight and landed costs
Tight vessel space and potential delays
Increased pricing pressure across supply chains
✅ MTF Logistics recommends booking early and exploring consolidation options to secure space and manage costs efficiently.

These Guys are great which is rare in the freight business, excellent customer service they go above and beyond to deliver.
We engaged MTF Melbourne to handle our imports and redeliveries after our existing provider deemed our specialised goods too difficult for them to handle. MTF have been nothing short of fantastic to deal with, from the admin & sales staff, through to the logistics team, everybody is a pleasure to deal with, friendly and efficient, and make the entire process a breeze, all at reasonable rates.
