Clarksons' brokers first Container freight futures trade settled on NYSHEX NYFI
In a significant milestone for the container derivatives market, Clarksons has successfully brokered the first ever trade on ICE’s newly launched Container Freight Futures NYFI Asia to North Europe 40 GP-HC (ASINEU40), based on the New York Shipping Exchange’s (NYSHEX) NYFI Index.
The trade was an NYFI Asia to North Europe May ’26 contract, at $2,650 per FEU.
The trade was cleared on ICE between Marex Solutions and BANDS Financial.
As the leader in Container Forward Freight Agreements (FFAs), Clarksons plays a central role in driving growth and liquidity in these new contracts.
Peter Stallion, who leads the Container FFA team, who brokered the transaction, said:
“The launch of Container Freight Futures with NYSHEX is an important and exciting development for the container market. We’re pleased to see strong engagement from clients and clearing firms from day one, and we see this contract as a natural evolution for freight risk management.”
