Economic Observer) corresponding rise in the cost of shipping containers, "a box of hard to find" how companies respond?
China news agency, Shanghai, September 15 (Zhou Zhuoao) - "Are subject to the daily suffering of the logistics." Joe Hill fitness equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. General Manager Li Yongkai when accept - reporters, said the company's sales this time very good, but the current rise in maritime logistics, business development has become a challenge.
It is understood that, as Asia, the world's third largest fitness equipment manufacturers, Joe Hill recent sales compared to the same period last year an increase of three percent over.

CEO and chief analyst at Chang Ai Media Consulting Group, told China news agency reporters, global shipping giant's "price freeze", meaning before shipping prices may not be as skyrocketing, but does not exclude these companies through a variety of additional additional cost profit, at present many countries there have been congestion pricing, peak season surcharges, fees and overall stagnation surcharge boxes of all kinds.
Chang said that supply and demand will determine the price, in the case of insufficient demand and a significant increase in supply, the price increases are inevitable outcome. For Chinese companies, in addition to shipping, rail transport can also be considered by way of Central Europe trains, railways and other China-Burma border, despite the price, shipping traffic and so can not compare, but to some extent ease transport tension.
Central European trains, means Chinese goods bound for Europe's fast trains for freight shipping container block-trains. The tenth anniversary of the opening line trains to Central Europe, open up 73 runs lines, to reach more than 160 cities in 22 European countries.
"In the case of tariffs closer, Central Trains timeliness high, strong security, and is conducive to epidemic prevention and control, its natural container companies competing to become the object of each competition." China Communications and Transportation Association International trains Advisory Service Center deputy director of the car to explore, said in an earlier interview with reporters, the current number of Central European trains CDB is nearing saturation.
However, in the current phase, rail transport can not solve all the problems. Earlier in 2021 the European rail freight summit held in Lodz, Poland, METRANS company Silk Road Project director Martin Koubek bluntly, railway applicable only to specific goods for customers who are willing to shorter transit time to spend more, "just a cargo ship will be transferred to the railway, we need to train 100-200 Imagine the number of daily round-trip shipping between China and the EU? "
Martin Koubek believes that in terms of the relationship between shipping and iron, the term "replacing" seems to be too heavy, and the "cooperation" is more appropriate, the railway department should maintain open cooperation at the sea, let the various transportation methodsThe position is complemented, and the logistics industry will help the logistics industry.
