跨太平洋航线峰季运费持续上升

Trans-Pacific peak-season uptrend continues, rolling varies

特朗普政府的关税政策以及进口激增的不确定性,将使班轮公司掌握跨太平洋东行航线的定价。跨太平洋东行航线的现货运价连续5周小幅上涨,自6月中旬以来上逾50%,但不确定的是,进口商增加订单货量能持续到何时。

Uncertainty regarding the Trump administration's tariffs and when surging imports will slacken is keeping ocean carriers firmly in control of pricing in the eastbound trans-Pacific trade. Spot rates in the eastbound Pacific edged up for the fifth consecutive week, and are up more than 50 percent since mid-June, but it is uncertain how long the overbooking of vessels leaving Asia will continue because the frenzy by importers to beat pending tariffs cannot continue indefinitely. Amid this uncertainty, and the unusually tight capacity on vessels leaving Asia, the East Coast rate this week was $3,329 per FEU, up $12 from last week, and the West Coast rate was $2,126 per FEU, an increase of $40, according to the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index published under the JOC Shipping & Logistics Pricing Hub on JOC.com.
