Our best advice is to book early!
The overseas market face
-
increase in demand
-
lack of equipment, which might even get worse
-
congestion and delays
- SPOT rates
In order to improve the situation we are in dialogue with many different carriers to find the best solution, short- and long-term. Aiming to ensure stability, predictability, space, and equipment.
We are independent of Carriers and will always look for the best solution for your shipment.
Other freight alternatives?
Both rail freight and air freight might be good solutions transporting your goods, though they are also very popular these days. Rail freight is fully booked through the month of June, but we are looking into adding routes to get more space for goods.
General ocean freight status for summer 2021
-
we expect strong demand for exports from Asia to continue in Q3 and ocean networks are projected to be highly utilized.
-
equipment shortages remain an industry-wide challenge in Asia Pacific. 20-foot dry containers are sufficient, but 40-foot, 45-foot- dry containers, and 40-foot non-operating reefer are short.
