With the increasingly normalization of domestic epidemic prevention and control, foreign trade has ushered in a recovery. With the growth of foreign trade, it is difficult to find a container on ocean routes, and the freight rate has risen sharply. The person in charge of a freight forwarding company said that since April this year, there has been a shortage of container capacity on international routes, and the freight rate has increased by about 5 times compared with the same period in 2019. Especially for European and American routes, if you want to book space, you basically have to book it about a month in advance. According to relevant data, higher logistics demand and insufficient supply of transport capacity led to the rise of freight rates. In addition, North America, Europe and other major destination ports have been severely hit by the epidemic, and the turnover efficiency has decreased, which has also exacerbated the "difficulty in finding one box" of domestic shipping.
