NCFI, a wind vane of China's busiest port's freight rates for the international container shipping market, stood at 1,001.2 points Friday, up 3 percent against last week.

Freight indices in the routes from Ningbo-Zhoushan port to West Africa quotes 950.4 points, rising by 18.0 percent from last week.
