The time has reached mid -August, which means that the peak season of the sea transport is coming, and the sellers must also prepare for the European and American sales season in the second half of the year. But this year's cross -border e -commerce market is not as good as last year, so the shipping market should not be as hot as last year.
The second quarter financial report released by HAPAG-LLOYD, one of the top five ship companies in the world, shows that although the current global shipping demand has not fallen, slowing down is an indisputable fact. Continuously decline.
Although the current shipping costs have fallen, it is far higher than the level before the epidemic. According to statistics, the spot freight rates of containers from China to the West Western Line recently are more than 4 times higher than the same period in 2019.
Consumption demand around the world has been reduced since the beginning of this year. Taking the United States as an example, receiving inflation, which has led to a decrease in consumer demand in the United States and a decline in purchasing power.
According to the latest monthly "Global Port Tracking Report" of the US Retail Federation (NRF) and Hackett Associates, the number of imported containers imported in the United States in June is expected to be in the next few months. decline.
Although the import volume of containers has decreased, the status quo of the congestion of the port is still increasing.
Taking the long beach port in the United States as an example, in July, the container processing volume of nearly 790,000 standard boxes was renovated again, an increase of 0.13%over the same period last year. Among them, the processing volume and export container processing volume of imported containers decreased by 1.8%and 0.5%, respectively, about 380,000 standard boxes and 110,000 standard boxes. The air container processing volume increased by 2.8%to about 300,000 standard boxes.
As of July, this year's long beach port container treatment volume has exceeded 5.79 million standard boxes, an increase of 4.6%year -on -year.
Although the number of import and export containers has fallen and the volume of freight has decreased, due to the impact of the global strike, the congestion status of many major ports in Europe and the United States will not be alleviated in the near future.
According to Herbelot's data, compared with Q1 in 2022, the container shipping index on the East Coast rose 53%in Q2 and Nordic rose by 26%. Although the west coast of the United States has fallen 14%, the congestion has not been eased, but it continues to deteriorate, and it is expected to be more serious in the near future.
In order to alleviate the congestion of the port, New York Port and New Jersey Port in the United States announced that the planned carrier would launch the "container imbalance fee" in the quarter to ensure that the number of containers transported by the carrier was excess. This fee will be calculated based on the proportion of the number of containers from the carrier and the number of containers entering the port, rather than the stay time.
This fee will be evaluated every quarter from September 1st. The total amount of container out of the port of the carrier must not be less than 110%of the amount of container in the port in the same period, otherwise the carrier will charge the cost of $ 100/container to the carrier. Among them, the container entering and leaving the port includes loading and empty boxes, and does not include railway transportation.
According to the report of the "2022 stagnation and stagnation fees" report of Container XChange, the ports of the global container stagnation and stagnation fees are all located in the United States, namely Port in New York, Long Beach, Los Angeles Port, Auckland Port and Sabanna port. After 14 days, the average stagnation fee of each standard box exceeded $ 2,000, and it was even as high as $ 3182 in Port New York.
The chaos of shipping, coupled with higher stagnation fees, strikes, crowds, etc., chaos is frequent. Sellers need to pay attention to risks and choose cautiously
