Sea freight, which remains high, has fallen, with an average drop of 20%
Apr 12, 2022
Recently, despite the soaring fuel costs, the originally high international ocean freight rates have fallen significantly. According to industry insiders, the actual shipping price of container ships has dropped by about 20% on average since the Spring Festival. The freight rate from China to West America has dropped from about 12,000 US dollars to 8,000 US dollars now, more than 30%, and the European line has dropped even more. The reason behind the drop in sea freight rates is that the upgrade of epidemic prevention and control in some parts of the country has caused supply chain blockages, which has changed and adjusted the market supply and demand relationship that was originally "hard to find in one box". At the same time, changes in the international situation have also affected the global consumer market.
