I am looking for a partner transportation company

What does it take to not only survive the storm of rates, congestion, and other hardships but also tame it and sail peacefully?

The new week starts with an already common phenomenon: container shipping remains extremely high and as for the ship-owning front, asset prices are surging as well. Additionally, shares of most liner operators and ship-leasing companies fell over the past three weeks minimum by 10% and 30% max, as the economic recovery is taking longer than it was expected. 

Meanwhile, the debates over who or what is to blame (monopoly, high demand, price increase, etc. – underline whichever) for the constrained supply chains go on. The US Congress received a report from an industrial shipper on how rapid price increases for goods and services can be traced directly to bottlenecks in the supply chain. Joe Biden’s administration is leaning toward regulatory and legislative action to deal with the problem, while Republicans are advocating for the United States Innovation and Competition Act that establishes a supply chain resiliency program and includes emergency funds for semiconductor manufacturers. 

China and South Korea have become the counterparts in the issue over Korean imposition of hefty fines on 23 liner operators, including Chinese ones, allegedly involved in collective freight price-fixing. The controversy could worsen diplomatic tensions with China, so the problem is being under expert investigation and is expected to resolve amicably.  

 For the US Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Tacoma an already challenging situation tops with the rail operator Union Pacific halting its intermodal services from west coast ports to its global terminal near Chicago. The company  is moving containers out of ports that were booked before the embargo, but there are no updates on the new reservations. Dwell times for containers leaving the terminal in June by on-dock rail had already increased by more than a day. In addition, shippers and consignees have been hit by high demurrage fees for containers buried at rail facilities. In the wake of these events, the National Retail Federation has called on the US Congress to upgrade the country’s supply chain using bipartisan infrastructure legislation as its guiding principle. Meanwhile, the US ports continue to demonstrate records in handling TEUs. This time New York & New Jersey has outperformed Long Beach and is about to become the second-biggest US port, behind Los Angeles.

The global character of the crisis requires global logistics that would be able to mitigate risks of future obstacles. At least this is what the governments have realized. However, there are challenges: the recognition of electronic documentation remains fragmented around the world, there is not enough interoperability of tools and standards continues to slow cargo transfer from ships to ports, and so on. Besides preaching for a greater political drive, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations is also focused on sustainability. It has proposed to develop a repository of emission calculators serving as a platform on best practices.

Companies are on the lookout for alternative routes to avoid Chittagong congestion. Some Bangladeshi exporters are already sending containers to the Indian port of Krishnapatnam from where boxes are shipped to mother vessels that directly sail to Europe and America. However, this service is not a long-run solution as it is quickly getting overbooked. 

As a result of Transair cargo jets crash-landing in the ocean, the Federal Aviation Administration has suspended the operating authority of Honolulu-based Rhoades Aviation. Earlier the agency notifies the company that it was moving forward with plans to rescind its ability to conduct maintenance inspections. 

A big reduction in the shortage of semiconductors in the automotive manufacturing space is expected in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company thanks to the increased production of microcontroller units. However, the surge in demand is still going to put the implemented strategy to test.

«Провели линию»: крупнейшая мировая компания «грузит» Приморье

Одна из крупнейших в мире компаний по морским грузоперевозкам Maersk может увеличить отправки по железной дороге России, нарастив частоту контейнерного поезда AE19 из Азии в Европу до ежедневной. Объем транзитных перевозок компании через Находку в Петербург по итогам 2021 года может достигнуть 14 тыс. TEU, сервис востребован на фоне сохраняющихся высоких ставок фрахта, отмечают аналитики.

С момента запуска транзитного маршрута АЕ19 летом 2019 года датская Maersk, транспортно-экспедиторская компания «Модуль» и Global Ports перевезли 10,7 тыс. TEU грузов из Азии в Европу и обратно, сообщили на пресс-конференции представители компаний. За первое полугодие 2021 года объем перевозок вырос в 5,5 раза и составил 6,2 тыс. TEU. По итогам года Maersk планирует перевезти 12–14 тыс. TEU, прогнозируя дальнейшее увеличение грузопотока в последующие годы. С ноября 2020 года частота отправления поездов уже была увеличена до четырех раз в неделю.

Номенклатуру грузов формируют техника, электроника, автокомплектующие, в том числе аккумуляторные батареи для европейских заводов по производству электромобилей, а также потребительские товары. Сервис обеспечивает доставку грузов из Азии в Европу, минуя Суэцкий канал через порты Восточный и Санкт-Петербург с железнодорожным плечом через Транссиб. Сквозное время доставки по АЕ19 составляет 25–30 суток, перевозка между российскими портами — 12 суток. Сначала грузы доставляются на каботажных судах из азиатских портов Кореи, Японии, Китая и Тайваня в порт Находка. Далее партии грузов перегружаются на железнодорожный транспорт и следуют через территорию РФ в Санкт-Петербург, откуда отправляются в Польшу, Германию, Голландию и Финляндию. На фоне дефицита контейнеров в мире и инцидента в Суэцком канале на маршруте АЕ19 добавилось регулярное отправление товаров из Японии в Великобританию, рассказал генеральный директор «Maersk Восточная Европа» Жолт Катона.

Основная загрузка контейнеров формируется на направлении из Азии в Европу, но Maersk рассчитывает нарастить грузопоток в обратном направлении, учитывая, что правительство РФ внесло морские пункты пропуска в перечень объектов, через которые разрешен транзит санкционных грузов через территорию России, пояснил господин Катона. Это позволит везти из Европы санкционные продукты, рыбу и мясо, увеличив количество поездов из Петербурга на Дальний Восток до 2–3 раз в неделю, добавил он.

Транзитный путь через Россию — это основной канал поставок товаров и компонентов из Азии в Европу, из-за чего спрос высок и постоянен. Динамика транзитных железнодорожных перевозок объясняется резко выросшими ставками фрахта — почти в десять раз с 2020 года, говорит начальник аналитического отдела ИК «ЛМС» Дмитрий Кумановский. В итоге перевозки железной дорогой стали дешевле на 20% и быстрее в два раза, отмечает он.

Another historical record and escalated madness. When shooting for high rates does not guarantee landing among the stars.

Breaking: The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index has crossed the 4,000 point for the first time, which accounts for a quadruple of its historical average while liners firmly set on course to record their most profitable year in history. Additional forecasts also predict new records in upcoming profits amounting to $80 bn instead of the initial $35 bn. In the light of the approaching peak season, the demand for ocean freight continues to outstrip supply, pushing Asia-North Europe rates further up. Hapag Lloyd and CMA CGM have already announced new charges from several Asia regions to various destinations all over the world.  Hapag Lloyd will first implement an of US$300 per standard TEU and US$600 per standard and high cube FEU, while  CMA CGM will apply a Peak Season Surcharge of US$1,000/TEU of dry cargo traveling from India to North Europe and some other destinations. In addition to insane FAK rates, ocean carriers are loading up huge surchargesjustifying it by the good ol’ increased demand. However, the chosen strategy is quick to backfire – some clients had been obliged to start a redundancy process, as they could no longer get the product to their business at a viable price. This madness will have to stop at some point for the sake of avoiding a collapse. Especially with the following dynamic – Asia-North Europe spot freight rates have already passed the US$13,000/FEU mark.

At the same time, South Korea-China container rates are bucking the global trend of upward freight movements in the light of falling exports from South Korea to China. In turn, this increases downward pressure on charges. The figures do not look promising with South Korean export going down 5% year-on-year in May for the first time in five months. 

Another misfortune that has hit shippers recently is a temporary halt of international container shipment from all west coast ports to Chicago by the railroad operator Union Pacific. It is due to working off the backlog of its Global IV terminal while freeing up railcar assets to support import-loading needs on the West Coast. Chicago remains the biggest onward destination, thus for shippers, it is extremely important to come up with alternatives as soon as possible. 

Regarding US imports, no slowdown in imports is in sight. Ports across the country are reporting record-breaking TEU traffic. The Port of Los Angeles alone stands at 5,427,359 TEU, an increase of 44% compared to the one of last year. However, the port is also bracing up for July and August, claiming the two months to be the strongest for volumes especially since the aftereffects of Yantian are still present. South Carolina Ports also demonstrate the strongest fiscal year on record for containers – it handled 2.55 million TEU at Wando Welch Terminal. Despite the growth, supply chain obstacles persist, so the government has to consider more active measures and careful planning for the future using sustained leadership and collaboration as the leading principles.

When the situation seems to become uncontrollable, it is time to take a driver’s seat. At least, this is what Maersk believes. The industry giant is going to redesign its ocean network in West and Central Asia. The network will be reworked with the stream of new services amid to improve speed to market, provide higher predictability, and offer flexibility to the supply chain. Meanwhile, COSCO still advocates for the expansion approach as the best strategy and orders 10 container ships for nearly $1.5 bn as part of a drive to increase efficiency and cut transportation costs. In general, how can liners find more capacity in such a challenging context without adding ships? Data shows that the answer is in the increased speed. Container ships are moving faster despite the fuel consumption. The helping hand is also the schedules that are already so far behind that faster speeds can help carriers chip away at congestion-induced capacity losses over time. The schedule reliability is expected to remain disrupted for much longer with the new Covid restrictions in manufacturing and logistics in South-East Asia. As a result, it will put significant strain on semiconductor production, serious given the global supply shortage. 

As for the green development, although the EC Fit For 55 Green Deal policy revision proposals have been welcomed, road and maritime transport sectors voice their concerns. They are against combining energy taxation with emissions trading because it would mean that commercial road transport operators would pay twice for emissions. The industry players see this approach as unfair and call for reconsideration.

To comply or not to comply with the high rates? This is a question that has become not a matter of choice, but a decision forced on hauliers by shipping lines to accept the rates and the sale of driver services as a product one can buy off a haulage market. Being severely underpaid and pressured by the pandemic and Brexit, workers are now looking for more attractive alternatives such as warehouses and supermarkets. If the policy regarding payments does not change, the drivers’ labor market risks drying up. Apart from hauliers frustrated with the shipping lines, forwarders also join the club of those considering shipping lines, looking to impose haulage surcharges for cancellations and amendments into the UK, unfair. They argue that it puts the letter into a favorable position and enables them to generate vast profits while the rates continue to rise and everyone else in the industry is struggling. 

With increasing demand and tight capacity, experts expect the peak season to start earlier this year. Hence, cargo owners are being urged to book early. Even the large shippers have been impacted, so for now it seems like taking care of the pending orders in advance is the only reasonable alternative, especially if the forecasts are true and capacity limit along with high prices will extend beyond 2021. 

Another major milestone on the green frontier has happened with the initial reaction to the Fit For 55 Green Deal policy revision being evaluated as largely positive.  NGO Transport & Environment has welcomed the provision for green fuel use in aviation and maritime to cut emissions through the EU Emissions Trading System. Although it criticized the maritime element of the policy, it is still a major step towards sustainable development. There is also a mandate to increase the production and use of SAF. In turn, forwarders have called for an international standard on offsetting indirect emissions since there is no legislation on this matter yet and it is unclear to what extent the companies will commit to a new agenda. In addition, among the changes, there is a new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism approved by the EU. It aims to put a carbon price on imports of a target selection of products to ensure that ambitious climate action in Europe does not lead to carbon leakage.

Western European rail has fallen victim to floods with the most affected areas in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. The damage on the tracks is already considerable, and, according to experts, it will take a while, even weeks, before traffic is back to normal. Despite the fact that in general rail has been portrayed as a promising sector, it has not managed to avoid the drawbacks of the pandemic. Although volumes returned to normal levels between March-May 2021 for infrastructure managers, this does not apply to their revenues. Specifically, their losses remain at approximately -10%.

However, the sombre picture for rails is not so discouraging for ADY Container, a subsidy of Azerbaijan Railways. Recently it has decided to extend its collaboration with Pasifik Eurasia by setting up a new project where ADY Containers will transport cargo from Azerbaijan to Turkey. After it, Pasifik Eurasia will carry it forward to Europe. It plays a significant role in keeping the BTK line active and increasing its volumes.

COSCO is up and thriving. The Red Sea Gateway Terminal has announced the completion of a 40% equity sale to the Public Investment Fund and COSCO Shipping Ports.  The investment in RSGT is aligned with PIF’s 2021-2025 strategy focusing on key priority sectors, including Transport and Logistics and capturing significant intra-Red Sea trans-shipment cargo volumes. Meanwhile, Hapag-Lloyd is not going to lose its position and closes the acquisition of Nile Dutch Investments B.V. planning to complete commercial integration by the end of 2021. The acquisition will strengthen Hapag-Lloyd’s position in West Africa.
