It of course depends on where you are sending the container to, but I would say that in general, container prices are about to go way up. The issues in the Red Sea are creating a shortageof supply and it seems a lot of companies are moving up their Q4 inventory movements. At the moment we can't even get spot rates for June container shipments from Shenzhen to LA.

@Stewart for reference we just booked a 40' container to Miami and saw rates quotes from $6k to $15k, which underscores the value of having multiple forwarders available to give quotes
