The peak season of the centralized transportation market will continue to the fourth quarter, and the transportation capacity will switch to trans Pacific routes
The rapid spread of delta mutant virus in the world has further disrupted the runaway centralized transportation market. The freight rate of the U.S. line has exceeded $20000, and the market peak season is expected to continue to the fourth quarter
At present, the centralized transportation market is in the traditional peak season. As China faces the attack of delta mutant virus, the freight rate of the US east line has increased from US $11000 / feu in late July to more than US $20000 / feu, five times that of the same period last year, and the freight rate of the US west line is also close to US $20000 / feu.
With the rising freight rate of the American line, container transportation companies have invested their capacity in the main route of Asia North America. Alphaliner's statistics show that the trans Pacific route between Asia and North America has attracted the most additional capacity in the past few months. It is estimated that more than 30 ships have been added between the Far East and the west coast of North America alone. In the past 12 months, the capacity of Asia North America routes has increased by 30.6%, compared with 19.7% of Asia Europe routes.
Among them, the world's two major container shipping Giants increased their capacity the most on trans Pacific routes, with Maersk increasing by 50.4% and Mediterranean Shipping increasing by 81.7%. Although the two companies belong to the 2m alliance, the increased capacity is operated separately. The growth rate of the North American line of Wanhai Airlines was the most amazing, as high as 2615%. Star shipping is aimed at cross-border e-commerce. In the past year, the weekly transportation capacity of the US west line increased from 18450teu to 25259teu, an increase of 37.4%. As capacity shifted to trans Pacific routes, cargo volumes in Los Angeles and long beach surged.
