No, "Secretly Chencang-Flying Freight Rate II" is here!
A lot of shipping companies have recently raised prices and suspended sailings.
Let me first talk about the generals of the team that did not increase prices before - Hapag-Lloyd !
announced on the 16th that starting from September 13, 2021, GRI will be levied on the transportation of 20 and 40 dry cargo and refrigerated containers (including 40 high containers) from East Asia to the east coast of South America.
The detailed information range of the GRI imposed is as follows:
- Asia to the east coast of South America: USD 1,000/container

emmmm, CMA CGM issued an announcement on September 9: February After stopping all spot freight increases on the 1st, Hapag-Lloyd was the second company to announce a suspension of freight increases. Although Hapag-Lloyd stated that it would not increase prices for the time being, it did not even increase prices for 10 days before raising prices again. , a bit...
went on to talk about Mediterranean which seemed to be outside the world but also joined the world. It launched three major price increase projects in one breath: freight increase (GRI), peak season surcharge (PSS) and Port Congestion Charge (CGS)!
Just from the three fees (GRI, PSS and the new round of CGS) that will be raised on October 15, the increase for 40-foot containers has reached as high as US$9,188, and the increase for 45-foot containers has reached an astonishing US$10,761!
really shocked everyone!
The scope of this freight increase is for goods whose departure ports are South China ports and Hong Kong, and whose destination ports are the East and West ports of the United States.
html On September 16, Mediterranean Shipping In another price increase notice, in addition to the port congestion fee that was extended from July 30 to August 19, starting from October 15, the shipping company will push for another increase. Port Congestion Charge (CGS)!
Comprehensive ocean freight will definitely become higher and higher. Even if pure ocean freight does not increase, various surcharges will come at a dizzying rate. Just like housing prices do not rise, the shared area gradually increases.
As expected, what you buy is not as good as what you sell!
It is also worth noting that in addition to the hot topic of freight, what is currently making matters worse is the lack of transportation capacity and lack of shipping space!
Especially Asia- Middle East route , in the context of shipping companies opening new routes one after another, no major liner company can provide weekly sailings on the Asia-Middle East route.
Only 29 container ships are deployed on the seven China-Middle East routes currently operated by major liner companies. According to the transportation plan, these routes actually require at least 50 ships.
In order to ensure that other more profitable routes can receive better services, shipping companies have canceled nearly 50% of voyages on the Asia-Middle East route.
and Asia-Red Sea route Ocean Alliance and Pacific International Shipping Lines (PIL) jointly operate 2 Asia-Red Sea routes. According to the transportation plan, these routes require 17 container ships, but only 8 ships are currently operating.
Other The capacity of weekly routes to and from Africa dropped by 6.5% year-on-year.
Intra-Asia, Oceania and Latin America markets have also reduced their route coverage this year.
This seems to have become the norm in the global liner shipping industry.
