"The price has gone up!The Red Sea is stirring, and Dubai is a bit annoying".”
Oops, that's a lot of rage!"The price has gone up!It's a mess on the Red Sea side, and it's starting to be a bit stretched down again on the Dubai side. Isn't it?!In the past day, when I asked about the ports in Israel, the shipping cost of 6k has soared to more than 7k in an instant. Oops, when the sailings were suspended in mid-2022, the Red Sea had not yet become like this, the epidemic had not been lifted, and now I can't remember the last time it was at this price. It's just changing in an instant!
Not to mention, this Red Sea disturbance is really a time bomb for global shipping. Don't look far away in the Middle East, the UAE is located in the Persian Gulf, and it does not pass through the Red Sea at all, but this ** is still rising. Netizens expressed their puzzlement: "If you don't go through the Red Sea, what will the price rise?""Right, who can stand this price increase.
Actually, the problem is not that simple at all. The reason behind this is not just the joy of the Red Sea. If you really want to dig deeper, you can't do without the relationship between supply and demand. Once the Red Sea falls into the dilemma of stopping sailing, the major shipping companies can only find another way, from East Africa around the Cape of Good Hope, to West Africa, and then to Europe, or around the Strait of Gibraltar to the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and North Africa. The sailing schedule for the entire route has to be increased by more than 20 days. In order to meet the freight demand of the ocean line, shipowners have mobilized the input of ships on other routes, which has reduced and the cost has naturally soared. Therefore, the freight has been swishing to ** recently, and a colleague actually feedback: "It was adjusted once at 2 p.m. and again at 6 p.m." "It's torture, and I've experienced it myself.
It's not over yet, that's pretty much it for now. The peak shipping season of the freight cycle is also blessed with this trend of price increases, ** which is quite tight. Freight rates are constantly rising, and there is really no room for rest. These alone are not enough, and the time node also just coincides with the peak shipping season of the freight cycle, which is simply adding fuel to the fire.
It's a real headache when you say this, just like the kind of constant adjustment torture I've experienced before. Still, let's face it. Friends who have goods to be shipped to the UAE, this is the time to discuss and discuss. I'm Sam from Qisheng, so let's see you in the next part.
Overall, this ** is really dramatic. From the war in the Red Sea, to the soaring freight rates, to the adjustment of supply and demand, everything shows the tension and uncertainty of the global shipping industry. In this process, as a member of the Chinese side, we have to take a firm stand, and at the same time, we must be flexible and constantly look for solutions to problems. Alas, world shipping, what a big show!
