The intermodal shipping container is 70 years old. Over the years it has been refined but ownership costs have increased. For example, this year, the annual operating prices have ranged between $25,000 to $40,000 to reposition an empty container.
Global container shipping rates are still 46% lower than they were in November last year. Drewry’s World Container Index puts the global average price of shipping a 40ft container at $1,859 (USD) for 13 November, 2025.
Demand for international container shipping remains on the decline although many carriers are attempting to boost prices by adopting General Rate Increases (GRIs) and pushing up Freight All Kinds (FAK) rates. The composite price index fell by 5% between the first and second weeks of November.
When comparing prices for international container shipping and moving, it’s important you understand what you need and how that affects the price you’ll end up paying. The first thing to understand is the difference between an international mover and a freight forwarder also known as non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC).
