What? Shipping and air transportation companies have increased their prices??? Yes, you are right~

What the hell is going on?

The latest news, sellers need to pay attention to the news that the port continues to be congested and the freight rates of major routes such as Europe and the United States are rising significantly!

Although the Suez Canal has been blocked, its impact has been seen one after another.

At present, ships and containers in Asia are restricted. The spot freight of containers on popular routes such as Europe and the United States has risen sharply, and many ports will continue to be congested.

At the briefing of Herbert, the fifth largest shipping company in the world, its CEO "Rolf Habben Jansen said that" not only in the United States, but also in many ports in Europe and Asia, there is a certain degree of congestion, which means that current shipping companies actually need a large number of ships to transport the same number of ship containers. "Harben Johnson" said.

"At present, due to the labor shortage or epidemic related problems in many places, we also see the capacity of port containers reduced." He continued to add: "Due to the crowded market and strong demand, freight rates will soar in the short term."

It seems that the Suez Canal was blocked within a week, leading to a "sharp rise" in spot freight rates on current Asia Europe routes and the United States routes. Perhaps this is not the most direct reason.

From China to the West Coast of the United States and then to European ports, container prices have been hovering around the record for several consecutive months. Although according to the past practice, freight usually has a trough every year, there are many special circumstances, which further makes the conditions for freight price increase more mature. At the same time, the new contracts signed by some of the largest importers in the United States show that the increase in freight rates is not a short-term phenomenon.

More worrying is that despite the soaring freight rates, American shipping may usher in the busiest stage.

The following questions are answered by the editor

Q1. Recently, the price of sea transportation and air transportation has been rising. What's the matter?

Minor editor: "Since the Spring Festival this year, the epidemic situation in foreign countries has not been alleviated, and even some regions have relapsed. The maritime port blockades in Europe and the United States have become the norm in the whole market. Yesterday, the workers' strike in LA, the United States, blocked the port seriously. The workers' strike has made the impact of the United States Haipai and the United States Haika even greater. All customers who go to Yantian Haipai+Yantian Kapai+Yixing Haipai should be vaccinated in advance. This situation will As a result, the price of Meisen will soar to the sky, and Meisen will be blocked later. "

Q2. Will the rise of sea freight affect other air and land transport?

Minor editor: "The congestion in the logistics market is a butterfly effect. The sea transportation is congested, and most of the goods have poured into the air express delivery. During the special epidemic period, many airlines have carried the cabin of test agent+vaccine. The air transportation, which was already very popular, has become more popular. Now the rising air transportation costs are real. Recently, the price of air transportation will even be higher than that of express delivery. The air transportation cabin in mainland and Hong Kong is extremely tight, and the companies that take the cabin at the market will take The arrival class has been lined up until next week. The consequent impact of this situation is that the prices of large goods and small packages will increase successively; This is a phenomenon in the whole market, and it is predicted that supply will continue to exceed demand in the second half of the year. "

Q3. What impact will air cargo explosion have on express delivery?

Small editor: "Since the air transport has exploded, the express delivery must also have exploded. It is very likely that DHL will reduce the number of cars next week. Now DHL in Hong Kong can no longer operate, so we need to use the action of reducing cars to limit the volume of goods. UPS has exceeded 70RMB/KG today, and it is expected that the price will rise again next week. The current price of Hong Kong DHL is still very advantageous, the Hong Kong Federation has been completely exploded, and the entire US line market has been extremely explosive."

From the above answers, it can be seen that the current shipping price increase is inevitable. Stimulated by the new epidemic, it has promoted the rapid development of the "online economy". People are keen on online shopping, which has led to a sharp increase in the number of consigned goods during this period. As the import of containers is closely related to the land freight volume and transport demand, the truck transport volume is increasing. From this, we know that the ground transportation in Europe and the United States will be very active this year.

If someone recommends you a stable and long-term class in the second half of the year, and if you can fix the price, Xiao Bian thinks it must be an awesome company, because only charter companies or those who have deep cooperation with charter companies dare to play like this~Cherish!!!
