Container Shortage Brings Chaos To Global Trading

  "Swedish Daily" reported that in Asia there is a serious shortage of containers, so that in the past month half of the empty ships sailed to Europe and North America to return empty containers, but at the same time, containers piled up in the United States.

  The global outbreak of the epidemic is a blow to the global trade order. Claes Sundmark, sales manager at the Port of Gothenburg, said that there is no shortage of containers, but they are extremely unevenly distributed around the world, which directly reflects the imbalance in global trade. Global consumption has continued to pick up after experiencing the blow of the epidemic. However, during the epidemic, the containers carrying large quantities of epidemic prevention materials were trapped in Africa and South America, which directly led to a shortage of containers on routes connecting Asia, Europe and North America.

  In the summer of 2020, the price of containers will rise from US$2,000 to US$6,000. At present, prices are still rising, and the price of containers in Europe has risen to US$10,000 per box. Fredrik Hermansson, CEO of Green Airliner Agency, said that the shortage of containers makes it difficult for shipping companies to maintain the balance of import and export of goods, often delaying the delivery date and increasing the economic burden of the shipping company. The shortage is expected to be resolved before the end of this year.
