APAC shippers may need to prepare for an expensive H2 2026 – Dimerco Freight Report

The Dimerco June 2026 Asia Pacific Freight Report warns of increasing freight cost pressures and operational disruptions across major Asia-Pacific trade lanes for H2 2026, driven by fuel volatility, congestion, blank sailings, transshipment delays, and geopolitical uncertainty. Key markets including Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia), India, China, and major transshipment hubs are flagged for reduced schedule reliability and higher surcharges rather than outright capacity shortages.
