Ocean quotes are up w/w for departures over the next 7 days for the main East- Analyst

West routes cristian.nedelcu@ubs.com

Our quote collection this week shows continued rate increases w/w for departures over +44-20-7568 4375

the next 7 days following the ~10% w/w increase in the SCFI last week. The current Samuel Goldstone

futures rates for July and August stand ~50-60% above the latest SCFI levels which in Associate Analyst

our view represents a very optimistic scenario considering the persistently high oil prices samuel.goldstone@ubs.com

that leaves uncertainty for H2 demand. +44-20-7567 0338
