The average China Containerized Freight Index (CCFI) stood at 1,906.13 last month, according to the exchange.

The sub-reading for Europe service led the gain with a month-on-month rise of 54.7 percent, followed by that for the Mediterranean service, which went up 51.5 percent from the previous month.
