Sources published a report on 4 September 2026 that relayed the latest weekly assessment from VHBS, the Verband Hamburger und Bremer Schiffsmakler e.V, showing the New ConTex container ship time charter assessment at 1,635 points as September began and describing the container charter market as continuing to show resilience.
The note appeared under the heading "VHBS New ConTex Container Ship Time Charter Assessment Index Week 36" and carried the date 4 September 2026. The report cited VHBS data for the week and gave the New ConTex figure as its central numerical finding.
VHBS is named in the summary that accompanied the reports item; the source attribution in the summary identified the Verband Hamburger und Bremer Schiffsmakler e.V as the origin of the New ConTex reading cited in the article.
The single numerical detail provided in the published summary was the New ConTex level of 1,635 points for the period referenced, and the accompanying text characterised the container charter market as showing resilience as the calendar moved into September.
Index movement and timing
The published item used the Week 36 designation in its heading and was dated 4 September 2026, situating the New ConTex value within the opening days of September; the figure of 1,635 points was presented as the weekly assessment for that period.
Week 36 and the 4 September dateline are the temporal anchors supplied with the figure; the report itself supplied the index reading and the summary judgement about market conditions for that particular moment.
Market reading
Sources carried the summary observation that the container charter market "continues to show resilience" as September began, a characterisation attributed to the VHBS material cited in the item.
That summary of market sentiment was included in the short report and appears alongside the single reported index value, 1,635 points, which the item set out as the headline data point for Week 36.
The published note contains no additional numerical series, historical comparisons or direct commentary beyond the index figure and the resilience observation, and it identifies VHBS as the authority supplying the assessment.
Readers seeking further detail would require the full VHBS release or extended coverage to obtain trend lines, methodology or commentary beyond the concise summary reports presented on 4 September 2026.
reports's item is limited in scope to the Week 36 New ConTex figure and the brief market appraisal attributed to VHBS; no other data points, port names or ancillary metrics are provided within the verified notes for this particular report.
The report therefore stands as a short weekly entry noting the New ConTex level at the outset of September and recording VHBS's assessment that, at that time, the container charter market was showing resilience.
