Focus on the shipping round table:resist COVID-19 and march forward

一场突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情,冲击着各行各业,而与贸易息息相关的航运物流业则首当其冲。当前,中国正处在内防扩散、外防输入的关键节点,在全球经贸下行压力加大的背景下,全球供应链各环节的市场主体面临着政府管控措施升级、市场需求减少、经营成本上升、履约风险频现等诸多挑战。这个春天,包括航运业在内的全球供应链迎来了爬坡过坎的严峻时刻。这场疫情对相关行业的影响程度如何?怎样应对才能化危为机,推动产业实现新突破跃上新台阶?企业又该采取什么样的策略在防疫的同时尽快复工复产稳经营?

A sudden outbreak of COVID-19 impacts on all walks of life,and the shipping logistics industry closely linked to trade bears the brunt.At present,China is at a key juncture of preventing imports from abroad and preventing proliferation from within.Under the background of increasing downward pressure on global economy and trade,market entities in all links of the global supply chain are faced with many challenges,such as upgrading of government control measures,decreasing market demand,rising operating costs and frequent occurrence of risk of implementation.This Spring,the global supply chain,including the shipping industry,is in for a rough ride.To what extent has the outbreak affected the industry?How can we turn the crisis into an opportunity to promote the industry to achieve new breakthroughs and leap to a new level?What kind of strategy should the enterprise adopt in the epidemic prevention at the same time as soon as possible to resume production?This issue of the magazine introduces the shipping round table,inviting experts in logistics,ports,shipping,finance and other supply chain related fields to attend an invisible seminar.Hopefully,their insights will inspire practitioners.The COVID-19 outbreak is a comprehensive examination of the global supply chain.In the face of this stress test,how to timely find problems and deficiencies before the stress test,and establish and cultivate coping mechanisms in extreme situations,so as to return with the most adequate preparation and the most enterprising mentality in the first time?Two industry leaders offer insights into the impact and impact of the outbreak on global supply chains and how to respond it.It’s a serious impact to our country’s supply chain operation because of the COVID-19 outbreak for a period of time in the present and the future of economic growth.In the meantime,a reversed transmission production,circulation and consumption in our country speeds up the adjustment,nurture and stimulate the development of new products,new services and new mode,not only for the current to speed up the economic recovery and stability provides a new kinetic energy,and it also will promote traditional industries operating mode and the adjustment of the interest structure,thus promote supply chain to speed up innovation and become the important support of our national economy cycle.Since the outbreak of the epidemic,the global supply chain is facing the risk of being severely restricted or even disrupted due to the lack of factory capacity,the risk of a significant decline in the demand for upstream commodities,and the negative impact of the launch of restrictions on the movement of Chinese personnel and vehicles by relevant countries.Given the huge size of China’s economy and its strong resilience against risks,with the right response and improvement measures,it is possible to return to the normal economic development track after the outbreak.Of course,the spread of the disease outside China is probably the biggest uncertainty that needs to be taken seriously.
