Hello Judy, could you please tell us about how the freight situation in the COVID-19?
Right from the first quarter of 2020, the shipping market faced many difficulties due to the prolonged social distancing period to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic.
When the Covid-19 epidemic spread around the world, countries blocked borders and seaports, goods became scarce, and low freight rates persisted.
Issues that have arisen since the beginning of the pandemic include imbalances in production and demand for goods, with countries closing and opening at different times, as well as transportation companies. Sea cuts capacity on major shipping lanes and lacks empty containers.
Entering the fourth quarter of 2020 until now, countries have reopened, the demand for goods has increased, accompanied by a shortage of empty containers by shipping lines, along with increasing congestion and disruption. more serious has pushed freight rates to record highs. Container freight rates have increased four to eight times the pre-epidemic level.
In the near term, rates are likely to rocket due to a combination of further increased demand and the limitations of the still-congested system. And even if capacity restrictions are eased, freight rates are likely to remain higher than they were before the pandemic.
