As the global economy continues to evolve, the container shipping industry is facing a new reality. Blanked sailings, where carriers withdraw a significant portion of scheduled space, are now a regular occurrence. According to recent analysis, this trend is expected to continue, with carriers routinely withdrawing 10% to 14% of scheduled space.
This shift in capacity management has significant implications for shippers, particularly those relying on China-Europe and China-Australia trade routes. With VERUS GLOBAL LIMITED's expertise in these regions, we're here to help you navigate this changing landscape.
What does this mean for shippers?
Blanked sailings can lead to increased freight costs, longer transit times, and reduced flexibility. To mitigate these risks, shippers must adapt their strategies and be more proactive in managing their supply chains. This may involve diversifying routes, working closely with freight forwarders, and investing in more agile logistics solutions.
At VERUS GLOBAL LIMITED, we're committed to helping our clients navigate these challenges. With our extensive knowledge of China-Europe and China-Australia trade routes, we can provide expert guidance on optimizing your supply chain and minimizing the impact of blanked sailings.
