SPOT rates for shipping containers from Asia to Northern Europe rose 37 per cent to US$949 per TEU in the week ending Friday, according to the Shanghai Containerised Freight Index (SCFI), London`s Loadstar reported.

Asia to the US west coast increases 51.4 per cent week-to-week to $1,746 per FEU while those to the east coast were up 45 per cent to $2,441 per FEU.

Surprisingly, the fallout from Hanjin`s demise has not had an impact so far on rates to Mediterranean ports with spot rates dropped 6.1 per cent to US$519 per TEU.
