Container shipping rates from Asia to the U.S. and Europe increased to new record levels over the past week, ensuring transportation costs will stay elevated for companies heading into a peak season for rebuilding inventories.
The spot rate for a 40-foot container from Shanghai to Los Angeles increased to a record $9,733, up 1% from the previous week and 236% higher than a year ago, according to the Drewry World Container Index published Thursday. The Shanghai-to-Rotterdam rate rose to $12,954. The composite index, reflecting eight major trade routes, hit $8,883, a 339% surge from a year ago.
Among the reasons for the tight market: a persistent shortage of containers along the busy transpacific lane carrying American imports. Goods in containers are flooding into the biggest U.S. gateway for seaborne trade at five times the volume of steel boxes full of exports.
That's the thing that we need to consider is if we scheduale the shipping plan earier than before, and we need to preview when the peak season comes, how crazy the container will be, how crazy will the price be. And as N-cov spreading again, there are too many the uncertain factors, so we think it would be a great idea that make the plan more comprehensive, that maybe a good way to avoild some lost or a wise way for keeping business.
