Since this year, the global container transport market has generally continued the trend since the second half of last year. The container shipping price has fluctuated since it reached its peak at the beginning of this year. In particular, the demand for the global shipping market has shrunk significantly due to the combination of factors such as high inflation rates in European and American countries, geopolitical conflicts in some regions, and the continued spread of the epidemic. In addition, the imbalance of international transport capacity allocation and the reduction of orders in the shipbuilding market also have a certain impact on the sea freight price.
It should be pointed out that the continuous decline of the sea freight price of this ship is also a periodic correction of the "abnormally high" sea freight price last year in a sense, which is conducive to bringing the soaring freight rate back to a relatively reasonable price level. That is to say, at present, the moderate decline of the international shipping price is reasonable, but the continuous sharp decline or even precipitous decline is not conducive to the healthy development of the entire shipping market. Although the proportion of ocean freight in the total foreign trade cost is not the highest, the sharp fluctuation of freight will inevitably be transmitted to the foreign trade market, and then affect the smooth operation of the supply chain of the entire foreign trade industry chain.
