While many carriers have postponed their peak season surcharge (PSS) implementation from mid-May, they are now expected to apply two separate PSS increases on top of existing long-term fixed rates: $2,000 per FEU effective June 1 and $4,000 per FEU effective June 15.

As of April 2025, 72 out of 713 scheduled sailings have been cancelled, resulting in a 10 percent cancellation rate for key East-West trade lanes.

Major carriers including Air China, China Cargo Airlines and China Southern Airlines are planning to cancel freighter services between China and the U.S. in the near future, though these cancellations are still pending final confirmation.

Following the policy announcements by U.S. President Donal Trump, the e-commerce market slowed considerably after January 20, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. "This led to e-commerce platforms canceling charters, disrupting the supply and demand balance," says Kathy Liu, Vice President, Group Sales and Marketing, Dimerco Express Group.
