The world's largest shipping company Maersk is optimistic about new crown vaccine transportation, and it is expected that the shipping industry will quickly compete with airborne vaccines.
According to the Financial Times, the Global Supervisor HRISTO PETKOV is predicted by the Maersk Pharmaceutical Department, and the new crown vaccine will supply overcapacity before this year. At that time, the air transport and cold-chain logistics network will be difficult to deal with the vaccine transportation, "the shipping container will play a greater role." .
He pointed out that the vaccine production plant is mainly located in Europe, the United States and India, close to early vaccination, so most vaccines are currently transported through air transport and land transport. However, from this year, more and more ships will be used to transport vaccines to enter Africa, Asia and South America. Half of vaccines will be carried in local land transport, while air and shipping will have a distribution market for the remaining half of the vaccine, manufacturers and medical structures will consider supply chain, infrastructure and vaccine.
Over the past decade, competitive pressure from the hyperplasher producer has forced pharmaceutical companies to cut costs, so shipping industries have been steadily in drug, treatment and vaccine transport, and grab air orders, but more expensive drugs mainly pass highly cost-effective air transport. transport.
MODALIS Director of the Logistics Consulting Company, Mark Edwards, formerly in front of Aslikang Pharmaceutical, estimated that there is approximately 87% of drugs in total, and air transport is 13%, but the ratio will change according to the value of drug. He pointed out that new crown vaccines apply to higher ends of low-value drug categories, but based on delivery speeds, it will be preferred in the share of shipping vaccines.
International Air Transport Association (IATA) Previously, to distribute vaccines around the world, 8,000 Boeing 747 can be completed. If the transportation work involves a variety of types of transportation, how to ensure the consistency of temperature control, it is worthy of attention. Due to the different development of countries, whether the destination has a complete cold chain logistics system, it is very important.
GregTuthill, senior vice president of Seacube Containers, said that it has proved that the refrigerator shipping market is better than other transportation methods and economic recession. Although the perishable products are usually the main source of this market, the vaccine will give priority through air transport, but the shipping industry will take a part of the vaccine transport from the vaccine.
Supporters of shipping transportation believe that the refrigerated box on the container ship can be used as an land mobile warehouse to help lack the cold-chain infrastructure. In addition, shipping can reduce the waste of vaccines, because the handle of the shipments of the ship is less, which helps to reduce the risk of temperature deviation during transportation.
In fact, Maersk has taken the lead in entering this opportunity.
In October last year, Maersk announced that it has established a global logistics partnership with the US Vaccine R & D company COVAXX. In the future, Maersk will help the company to complete the full logistics work of transporting vaccines to developing countries. According to this agreement, Malay will be responsible for the "end-to-end" supply chain management of the vaccine, responsible for packaging, shipping, air transport, land transport, warehousing, and distribution.
It is reported that the UB-612 vaccine developed by COVAXX is currently in the first phase of the experimentation, which plans to produce 100 million people in early 2021, and the production of 1 billion doses at the end of 2021.
Ma Shi also warned with other logistics groups and the world's largest vaccine manufacturer in the Indian Serum Institute (SERMINIC), developing countries need to wait a long time because the vaccine production capacity will not increase rapidly, and it is difficult to speed up the distribution speed.
Petkov said that the vaccination to be vaccinated for three to four years may take three to four years, and the supply chain bottle can slow down the distribution speed, "logistics will become a restriction factor."
