Ocean freight FAK rate reference in week 23

Following FAK rate reference in week 23. Asia main ports to WCUSA USD 5500~6000 per 40GP; to ECUSA USD 7500~8000 per 40GP; for IPI points of USA is USD 8500~10500 per 40GP; to Europe main ports and W. Med USD 9000~10800 per 40GP; to WCSA USD 7800~8500 per 40GP; to ECSA USD 7500~8500 per 40GP. However, customers are requested to pay USD 15000~18000 per 40GP to arrange shipping in June. Some carriers even announce to have GRI USD 3000 per container in July. The party is getting crazy right now.

 

Just when we thought the vaccine injection in USA and England will ease the tensions of international logistics, the Covid-19 outbreak in India, Malaysia, Southern China and Taiwan have put the situation on the down slope again. For example, Covid-19 cases made most of faculty of Yantian port into quarantine, and consequently slow down the port operation so much as to delay the berthing schedules of vessels. Many carriers have to delay or stop calling Yantian port, and this arrangement cause nearby ports such as Nansha, Zhongshan face unexpected congestions. Today, we are really in a global village. Every small thing happening in some corner will eventually influence the whole world if not stopped in the beginning. One factory locked down will jeopardize the whole supply chain if nobody steps up to take over the production. Covid-19 cases happening in one semiconductor factory in Taiwan have made the whold world worry about the disruption of not only the semiconductor industry but also in automobile and mobile phone industries. The G7 countries should spend money to donate vaccines to poor and small countries to make economy back to normal as soon as possible.
