global shipping prices have skyrocketed, and the Chinese ship team is the second largest in the world. Why does the more you do it, the more the US earns? The United States shipbuilding industry almost went bankrupt, how to dominate the global shipping?
Affected by the epidemic, global shipping prices continue to skyrocket. In just one week, the cost per TEU has reached an unprecedented $20,000, which is eight times as much as in previous years , , , As the most important trading country in today's history, during this special period, the China shipping industry should make a lot of money, but in reality it is not the case.
Behind this hot scene, there is a very cruel reality. China Shipping does not really earn much money. It can even be said that the more you do, the more the United States earns. Worked for the United States , So where is the problem?
To put it simply, China’s shipping industry has an empty volume and scale, but does not have pricing power and dominance. , , even if it is the first in China and the second in the world Ship boss, China COSCO Shipping Group must be approved by the American , and this approval process often takes more than one month, which directly leads to a long-term passive situation for Chinese shipping companies, often losing orders because the quotes can’t keep up with the market. How did the bankrupt US dominate the global ocean shipping?
mainly has three aspects: , is the most important point first, the United States has seized shipping _span_span1 span2span as one of the essence of the logistics Basic Although can flow more efficiently in " " " , but the key lies in " _span22 _span_span2 _span_span2 _span_span1 , You can easily grasp the initiative of shipping.
After World War II, the United States relied on its strong national power to reap the benefits of fishermen and promoted the convenient flag system to the world. ,It means that the shipowner only needs to pay for registration in the country that implements the system, and he can hang the flag of that country on the ship and obtain the nationality of that country, so as to enjoy the convenient navigation environment and lower personal tax, and increase the profit of merchant ships.
and these are easily accessible flag system joined the merchant ships of the United States nationality, and naturally became the second navy of the United States, causing these sea ships to become essentially American ships. All merchant ships working for the United States . The second is the container. Before the invention of the container, the efficiency of human transportation was due to the cargo space, which was in a very inefficient state.
The container has the advantages of being reusable, suitable for fast loading and unloading, and efficient use of space, so that the port's loading and unloading capacity has been increased eight times, and more than half of the freight cost has been saved , More importantly, because of the versatility of containers, it even broke the dimensional wall of sea, land, and air transportation, prompting the rise of new American shipping companies.
competes with the traditional European shipping system, and at the same time squeezes their business Carrying out the trading of shipping capacity and futures, prohibiting other governments from intervening in maritime commercial affairs, breaking international restrictions, innovating logistics efficiency, and political and economic escort.
is relying on these three axes,The United States, which does not have a decent fleet and even the shipbuilding industry is almost bankrupt, has gradually controlled and monopolized the voice of the marine transportation industry. , Chinese shipbuilding companies ranked first in the world in terms of hand-held orders As for , , why can the United States manipulate global shipping pricing power, but China can’t?
In fact, these problems are in the final analysis because the Chinese navy is not strong enough to obtain sea power , . Needless to say, the overwhelming power of the U.S. Navy has tens of thousands of ocean-going ships every day. Ships shuttle between the mainland, but there are actually only 16 main shipping routes, and these routes must pass through the U.S.-controlled maritime traffic including the Balna Sea Canal, the Strait of Malacca, the Suez Canal, , and the Strait of Gibraltar. Main way .
They Why can control ? because they have the world’s largest ocean-going navy , With the continuous deepening of China's foreign investment and the continuous expansion of the scale of international trade, more and more overseas economic benefits will emerge , At the same time, China's dependence on maritime transportation routes will gradually deepen_ span2span , So at this time, very high requirements are put forward for the Chinese Navy’s ocean-going combat capability.
The Chinese navy must have more aircraft carriers and even overseas military bases, supporting the hardware foundation of ocean warfare, at least ten or even twenty aircraft carriers , and only like this, . The Chinese Navy can have the military deterrence power to reach enough to reach globally.
Of course, building more aircraft carriers is only the first step, and it is not easy to break the maritime hegemony that the United States has cultivated for many years. 2014 In 2014, the world’s three major shipping companies approved and signed agreements in Europe and the United States, trying to form alliances and groups through mergers and acquisitions. Once this alliance is formed , will be decisive for other shipping companies in the world, especially China As a result, it can even control the oil business line to China and the Eurasian route, which is a must pass through the One Belt One Road.
The bitter fruit of others’ control of the route,China has tried more than once, After the reform and opening up, the shipping market opened up, and the greedy international liner monopolies grouped together to squeeze Chinese shipping companies, resulting in China Shipping's market share from the initial percent Eighty-one degrees dropped to more than ten percent .
Fortunately China's Ministry of Commerce used the power of a veto to completely ruin the largest shipping alliance plan in history, and also successfully guarded the fair competition pattern of the world shipping system_span22span, , , It can be seen that as the world shipping center is shifting to China, and the Chinese navy's ocean-going strength is becoming stronger, I have gradually enjoyed the right to speak in global shipping , what do you think?
