The shipping industry is experiencing a 'brutal' environment, with forwarders warning of rising spot rates on the transpacific and Asia-Europe trades. Tight capacity and high demand are allowing carriers to push through peak season surcharges on long-term contracts, leaving shippers with little option but to pay up.
What does this mean for China-Europe and China-Australia trade?
For shippers in the China-Europe and China-Australia trade, this development is particularly concerning. With the ongoing trade tensions and capacity constraints, the 'pay to play' era is likely to continue, making it essential for shippers to adapt and find ways to mitigate the costs.
