Current rate slots are placeholders
| Route | Container | Published amount | Source type | Confidence | Last reviewed | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shanghai → Jeddah Islamic Port | 20ft FCL | $9800.00 | Withheld | Medium | 2026-09-16 | Port-to-port spot, forwarder guide range. Jeddah = Red Sea gateway, no Hormuz transit, but Houthi/Saudi flare-up and Cape-of-Good-Hope rerouting (~+11 days) inflate costs. |
| Shanghai → Jeddah Islamic Port | 40ft FCL | $12550.00 | Withheld | High | 2026-09-16 | Low = Xeneta market-average spot China→Jeddah $10,870/FEU (+256% vs 2026-02-28, above Covid-era peak). High = forwarder guide top. Includes war-risk premium and rerouting. |
| Shanghai → King Abdulaziz Port Dammam | 20ft FCL | $9800.00 | Withheld | Medium | 2026-09-16 | Source quotes Jeddah/Dammam combined. Dammam is Gulf-side; with Hormuz closed to container vessels, cargo moves via Jeddah/Khor al Fakkan land bridges. |

Why freight rates are LOW confidence
Freight prices are highly volatile: fuel, seasonal demand, vessel capacity and Gulf/Red Sea security all change the number between collection and publication. A rate without a current secondary verification is therefore kept as LOW and unpublished rather than presented as a live price.
