2020 Southampton-New York was £1,100. Interested to know what it is post-COVID.

Thanks. I see vehicles overlanding with some I think, German plates occasionally, but always figured they were here for a long holiday trip, and were stinking rich.

Reading an article in World Cargo News that suggests "contract rates this year in the transpacific and Asia-Europe will give exporters and importers a cut in shipping costs of 55% to 85% in most cases, when compared with 2022 costs."

"BCOs in this latest bid season have set aggressive target rates – some as low as US$1,200 per 40ft container from Asia to the US West Coast."

Got a Simpson desert trip planned for mid June. Not at all confident that the Grenadier will be here in time…

Nah, you’d pay more than that for a decent hotel room at Sorrento etc.

That would be a great trip in a Grenadier
