Space is 【Full】
Container is【 Lacking】
Freight is【increasing】
Dear customers,
If you are still anxiously looking for a space at the end of August, we regret to tell you that some of the shipping companies’ spaces have already been placed at the end of September!
According to the booking feedback of many large ship owners such as MSK, HPL, EMC, HSUD, COSCO, CMA, ONE, etc., the space in September is still very hot, and the relationship between supply and demand in the market has changed due to multiple reasons.
1.The most fundamental reason is the impact of the globalization of the epidemic COVID-2019
At present, the volume of containers exported from China is gradually rebounding and increasing. The volume of containers imported from abroad to China is decreasing. This has caused shipping companies to have empty return ships and loss of load from abroad. The losses are very serious. Therefore, carriers adjust the space to reduce the loss (such as changing large ships to small ships, implement blank vessels)，which
leading to the greatly reduced market space and tight space.
2.The decrease in the amount of imported containers also directly leads to the shortage of container equipments.
Especially the shortage of 40HC, makes customers have to change to use 40GP, 40NOR or even 20GP.This undoubtedly greatly increases the transportation cost.
If there is no accident, the lack of containers will continue to deteriorate.
3.Originally August, September, and October are the traditional peak shipping season. The 7-day National Day holiday in October in China and the advanced arrangement of Christmas goods in December have concentrated on shipping demands.
This is the most profitable season for shipping company，of course they will make good use of this good time.
—So warmly remind all customers, please arrange your shipping plan reasonably, the freight will be higher and higher, and the space will be tighter and tighter.
Shipment delays caused by full space will also be very frequent. If you do not arrange in advance, it is likely that you will need to spend more expensive costs to change to air transportation to fulfill your timeliness expectations.
