Why container production, port response policies are constantly updated, ship owners also buy a lot of new ships, the sea freight rate is still constantly rising?

In fact, at present global shipping prices have exceeded international expectations.

According to shipping big data, 42% of the world's ships are idle.

As a result of the epidemic, global trade is out of balance, but most countries are either big exporters or big importers. This imbalance causes ships to carry only export goods to their destinations and then sail back empty, or empty ships to pick up goods from the place of origin.

Most shippers fight so hard for space that nearly half the ships are actually sailing empty.

Not to mention waste, the freight is particularly high, with FAK currently costing $20,000 per 40 feet from Asia to Europe and $17,000 per 40 feet from Asia to the East Coast.

The shipping big data study shows that the container shortage is not just caused by the outbreak.

Sudden events, such as the blockage of the Suez Canal, can also cause container shortages, leading to soaring freight rates and a shortage of shipping space.

In fact, the reason behind it is caused by the recovery of global regional differentiation after the occurrence of an emergency.

The demand generated in different degrees and at different times will cause serious trade imbalance, and the no-load navigation presented finally is one of its manifestations.
