集运市场将走向何方

Where will container shipping market go

预计2022年全球海运量将与去年持平或略有下降,随着美国和欧洲港口拥堵的缓解,运费将持续下降。集装箱运输公司和市场分析师均表示,随着全球经济形势的恶化,预计2022年全球海运量将与去年持平或略有下降,随着美国和欧洲港口拥堵的缓解,运费将持续下降。不过,鉴于目前美国和欧洲港口的拥堵依然严重,运费下跌幅度有限,运价谈判的天平仍然偏向承运人一方。

Global ocean freight volumes for the full year are expected to be flat or even decline as economic conditions deteriorate,and the bottlenecks at ports in the US and Europe will ease with rates continuing to fall through the second half,according to carriers and analysts.But with congestion levels still high in the US and Europe,the container shipping markets on the main trades out of Asia have not weakened enough for the rate-negotiating balance of power to shift from carriers back to shippers.
