Globala sjöfartsnyheter 2021
Star International Global Relocation Port Arial view
Det har hänt en hel del sedan vårt senaste nyhetsbrev och saker och ting fortsätter att förändras snabbt. Sjöfarten fortsätter att vara en utmaning globalt sett, och hamnarna på västkusten är hårt belastade på grund av det otroliga antalet importer. Detta leder till stora förseningar i transittiden och till att det inte finns tillräckligt med chassier för att hantera containrarna, vilket leder till ytterligare hamnavgifter och chassiavgifter.
Denna överbelastning är nära kopplad till den ökade globala efterfrågan på asiatisk export, i kombination med minskad segelfrekvens och det stora antalet tomma containrar som hålls kvar i hamnar i EU och USA, vilket har skapat en betydande containerbrist i Asien. Detta leder till att försändelser skjuts upp i veckor, vilket förlänger transittiden.
Due to limited space, shipping lines are now charging rates that are 200% higher compared with this time last year. Airfreight has also become very expensive, although pricing is less volatile. Our partners anticipate that freight rates will continue to increase throughout Q1 2021, with some predicting a relief in Q3 2021. To compound matters, storage facilities at origin in the United States are also filling up.
Naturally, we are doing all we can to mitigate these expenses and we are certainly letting our clients know when there will be changes to the agreed upon rates. Below is the latest COVID report, which we will continue to update this week. For the most part, the moving industry can perform Flyttjänster with all the COVID-19 precautionary measures in place. There are just a few ports that are closed due to the pandemic, which leaves the borders as the most challenging part. This is what impacts transferee’s ability to travel between countries and in some cases states. Many destinations do have quarantine rules in place, and this may have an impact on delivery. We continue to have an individual approach to each of this to come up with be best solution.
The Star International Mover team is monitoring the above situations and will keep clients who may be affected by these disruptions updated with timely information as it pertains to their respective relocations.
