The party is over. Following the drop in freight rates, liners are drastically losing revenues. Average long-term contracted rates dropped by 13.3%. Companies admit that now it is the era when they have to “fight for every box again to get the ships full”.  In attempts to do so,  Asia-North Europe ocean carriers, for example, are already quoting extremely low rates below $1,000 per 40ft from China to the UK. 

Companies who chose to expand their newbuild mega-box ship deliveries risk getting into their own traps if consumption fails to keep up with the capacity growth. That could potentially lead to a price war that will make it difficult to make profits from the transpacific, Asia-Europe, and other important routes. 

Perhaps, it is this dramatic situation that encourages companies to turn their focus to investments in airfreight. However, this still remains a shaky ground: while some lines do consider it an option, the market saw others suspending their operations not so long ago. Experts explain that those investments were the result of the post-pandemic euphoria when companies had such big profits that they had to invest this money at least somewhere.

On the heels of a disappointing Q4 that pushed it behind earnings targets, Knight-Swift, the largest of the US truckload carriers, intends to expand through an acquisition in the LTL sector, while expecting a challenging first half for its core segment.

Shipments by truck in the fourth quarter suffered their largest drop since the height of the pandemic, according to the US Bank Freight Payment Index.

While Knight-Swift Transportation’s management had braced for a subdued spot market and infrequent project activity, general freight demand turned out to be “significantly worse than anticipated”, revealed CFO David Miller in the earnings call following the results announcement, on 23 January.

This demand slump drove a 41% drop in operating income, compared with the fourth quarter of 2021.

US Bank data shows US trucking volumes in Q4 22 down 7.1% year on year – a magnitude of decline not seen since the third quarter of 2020. The shipment count in Q3 22 was 4.6% down on Q3 21.

Both the For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index of American Trucking Associations (ATA) and the Cass Freight Shipments Index showed consecutive declines from September through December.

“A pullback in consumer spending is causing the truck freight market to soften,” said ATA SVP and chief economist Bob Costello. “At the same time, monetary policy changes are reducing demand for large-ticket items in interest rate-sensitive areas like autos and homes.”

Knight-Swift president and CEO David Jackson blamed the slowdown largely on moves by importers to bring in goods early to avoid supply chain snare-ups, and does not expect the coming months to be much better.

Samskip is adding the APM Terminals Gothenburg to their network to improve their rail freight offers from the port of Gothenburg to the Swedish hinterland. Moreover, Samskip’s presence in the terminal will allow them to start short-sea services between Scandinavia’s largest port and the rest of Europe.

The kick-off date has been set for 5 April 2023, from when Samskip will start calling weekly at APM Terminals’ renovated quay, adapted specifically to boost short-sea traffic. From the port, ships will sail to Aarhus, Runavik (in the Faroe Islands), Reykjavik, and finally reach Rotterdam after four days of sailing. Kenn Mellgren, operations manager at Samskip, pointed out that the company is ready to embrace combined sea-rail transport, considered “by far the most climate-efficient way of transporting containers”.

The port of Gothenburg is increasingly receiving freight trains. In 2022, for example, TEUs moved by trains in the port grew by 12 per cent. Already in 2022, the port of Gothenburg was planning to add new destinations to its network. This new partnership between APM Terminals and Samskip may be a step in this direction.

“This year’s growth resulted from long-distance services and increased short-distance rail operations. However, the biggest growth is evident in traffic to and from Northern Sweden,” explained the port. The port’s growth concerning rail freight can also be attributed to more industries flourishing in the Swedish North which require more and better transportation services.

Samskip’s initiative to join APM Terminals in the port of Gothenburg is not the first company’s initiative to boost sea-rail transport. In December 2022, for example, Samskip collaborated with Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals (RST) and Rail Service Center Rotterdam (RSC) to make the two terminals more efficient. “RST needs high-performance rail links and RSC needs short-sea traffic. Together, we have focused on the shunt to make sure units reach the ship or train they are booked for”, said Samskip back then.
