## Description

The Drewry World Container Index is the global reference for container spot rates and the cleanest single number to price against the Strait of Hormuz disruption, the Red Sea reroutes and the Asia-Europe peak season build. The composite was $2,287 per 40-foot equivalent on April 2, 2026, holding steady on Transpacific and Asia-Europe. This is the first non-trucking rate market in the Rig Load portfolio and a natural hook for the maritime coverage the blog has been running through the spring.

## Resolution criteria

Resolves to the Drewry World Container Index composite value, in U.S. dollars per 40-foot equivalent unit, for the weekly release dated July 30, 2026. If Drewry does not publish a reading on that date, the most recent weekly composite published before July 30, 2026 is used. Round to the nearest dollar.
