(CCTV Finance "Economic Information Broadcast") After the outbreak of the global epidemic, sea freight prices have been rising all the way, and the freight rates of 40-foot high cabinets from my country to the United States and West even exceeded US$20,000 at one point. Have there been new changes in shipping prices now? Is it still "hard to find a cabin"?
Recently, the most important task of staff at a freight forwarding company in Zhejiang every day is to ask new and old customers about shipment arrangements. The company's head Jin Xiaomin told reporters that at this time last year, the situation was completely opposite, and they called to find a cabin every day.
Chairman of a supply chain group company in Yiwu, Zhejiang Jin Xiaomin: What is short of goods now, so now we have to go and find goods now. Especially in the front end of the business end, we may need to add about 20 people. The freight rates for
shipping have also changed. Jin Xiaomin said that the freight rates of most routes have declined sharply after reaching a high level in mid-January. The freight rates of some routes are even close to halfway.
Chairman of a Supply Chain Group Co., Ltd. in Yiwu, Zhejiang Jin Xiaomin: to red sea line , now it is about 5,000 US dollars per high cabinet, and last year it took more than 8,000 US dollars. There is also the US line. In the second half of last year, each high cabinet was about $15,000, and now it is about $8,000.
data shows that the Shanghai export container freight index, which represents spot freight rates, has fallen by more than 17% in the past three months.
Shenwan Hongyuan Travel Chief Analyst Yan Hai: After the Spring Festival, the European and American trunk ships squeezed out a 20% capacity increase year-on-year. It is equivalent to the transportation capacity waiting for the goods, but the goods cannot come to the port, so there will inevitably be certain pressure to reduce prices.
