It gives the STB everything it needs to begin its full review and provides overwhelming confirmation that the proposed combination is in the public interest.

Wolfe sees shift to West Coast ports on pricing gap

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:34:59 -0400

Investing.com -- Wolfe Research expects U.S. import volumes to shift from East Coast ports to West Coast ports as the pricing gap between the two routes widens significantly.

The spread between Shanghai-East Coast and Shanghai-West Coast ocean rates is approaching $3,000 per container, marking the largest gap since the COVID pandemic and well above historical averages of around $1,000, according to the research firm.

Wolfe attributes the pricing difference to several factors including typhoons and congestion at major Asian ports, an increase in blank sailings to East Coast ports, and ongoing supply chain disruptions related to the Mideast war.
