EU Sea Freight

The strikes at the ports of Felixstowe and Liverpool in the UK have ended. But the Liverpool port workers plan further strike for a week from October 11. The vessel dwell times up by more than 88.1% month-over-month. On average, containers wait about seven days at Felixstowe before being loaded onto a vessel, but the strike caused export containers to wait as long as 21 days in port while import containers waited as much as 13 days.

In addition, the UK confirmed that the railway will go on strike on October 8, and the supply chain will be further disrupted. As the uncertainty of the industrial disputes still exists, some capacity ships may completely avoid the ports of Felixstowe and Liverpool in the short term.

· Europe -Shipping Tips:

1. The suspension and reduction of Ocean Freight will continue

Affected by the supply and demand, in order to curb the sharply falling freight rate, The Carrier will take a series of suspensions and reductions to control the violent price fluctuations. It is difficult for the demand for container orders to rebound significantly in the short term. Therefore, expected that the phenomenon of suspensions and reductions will continue for a while.

2. Preparing for Christmas, Truck Freight is the first choice!

In principle, the bans and sanctions between Russia and the EU will be without affecting the rights and interests of the third party countries as much as possible, so neither Truck Freight nor Rail Freight are affected by sanctions, the routes pass through normally and thetimeliness remains stable.

2. The cargo volume continued to decline in west America port of Los Angeles, since the high level in June fell by more than 50%, currently Terminal Dwell is average of 3.6 days. The number of chassis at the Port Oakland is very tight, with yard utilization at 73%; in addition, the impact is significant as orders continue to decline has led to more blank sailing and suspensions in the maritime market.

· USA -Shipping Tips:

1. The suspension and reduction of flights in the America sea freight will continue for a short time, but it isn’t expected to be too long.

Shipping companies will further reduce the sailing suspension to control price fluctuations, but the U.S. stock ratio and consumer demand are still having flexibility, and for retailers, they are now clearing their Inventories by discounting and working to pave the way for later restocking, so the supply and demand problem will not last long.

2. West USA ports are smooth, General shipping / full container has good time efficiency, and it is the first choice for high cost performance.

Due to the market of ocean freight generally shifted from the U.S. West port to the U.S. East, so recently U.S. West general shipping’s time efficiency and stability are better, more cost-effective and recommended!
