International logistics today
With the outbreak of the epidemic, the situation has changed drastically. It started with air transportation at the earliest, because international passenger flights were cancelled on a large scale, and the air transportation capacity was greatly reduced. Coupled with the peak of the export of various anti-epidemic materials at that time, the imbalance in the relationship between supply and demand caused the price of air freight to soar. A friend asked about the air freight price to Paris, one price per day, and the freight is higher than the value of the goods.
Later, it spread to the shipping level. Suez Canal stranded and suspended, Yantian Port's epidemic prevention was shut down, and container turnover at the main terminal has been stagnant. These factors have caused the price of shipping to skyrocket. It is said that the freight to Europe has exceeded US$20,000. Globally, cargo ships are overbooked, containers are stranded in the wrong place, and ports are overcrowded.
The only consolation is the development and growth of China-Europe Express, which has eased the logistics pressure between China and Europe to a certain extent. The price is cheaper than air freight and the time is faster than ocean freight. China-Europe Express has natural compound advantages. The number of China-Europe Express trains is increasing, gradually forming a scale effect, which is recognized by more and more companies.
The high rate, wide range, and long duration of this international logistics freight rate were unexpected by the industry, and as of now, there is no end in sight, full of uncertainty. There are many factors for the skyrocketing freight rates. The fundamental reason is that the international logistics supply chain has suffered major damage from the epidemic and has been greatly imbalanced. At the same time, several major shipping companies have jointly increased freight rates due to their own interests, and there are countless scalpers in the market.
