The German government has been putting a lot of worry into COSCO’s ambitious acquisition of 35% shares of the Container Terminal Tollerort. The facility is managed by HHLA. However, it has been announced that COSCO will not take over either the port of Hamburg or HHLA and the terminal will remain open for all customers.

In China, shippers are underperforming on minimum quantities when it comes to capacity, so carriers have to severely discount cargo. This “underselling” has resulted in a very destabilized market. Plummeting rates are not contributing to improvement either: Asia-US west coast component dropped by a massive 15% to $2,209 per 40ft. Despite the challenges, the Chinese economy still managed to grow by 3.9% in Q3, but the authorities admit that the momentum has been lost. With zero-COVID tolerance policies, tightening shipping space, and looming global recession the situation will not improve most likely. 

The Port of LA which used to hit record numbers in volumes just several months ago is now experiencing a 20% decline in volumes in comparison to the same period last year. Experts name this result disappointing. 

In order to avoid the collapse in 2023, experts advise shipping lines to manage capacity by selling older ships for demolition or reducing the delivery of new ships. Idling vessels can also improve the situation, there is already a growing number of vessels that do not perform any commercial activity. Another way to reduce capacity would be to sail slower. Experts also bet on blank sailings as one of the ways to match the demand. In addition, it is essential to keep in mind congestions that will not fade away in 2023 and be prepared for delays. 

 Strikes:  

RMT union in the UK plans to continue the strikes, so the discontent on the British railway network is destined to prolong. England, Scotland, and Wales will be affected by the disruptions. Northern Ireland will not experience them. 

While some companies at the Port of Mobile have been having the best throughput years, it may change quickly because of the looming strike from more than 800 dockworkers. 

Transnet and South African United National Transport Union reached a three-year wage agreement, so the restrictions on the port’s operations (due to the ongoing strike) have been partially lifted. Workers are coming back on duty.

Cosco Shipping Holdings officially launched its supply chain logistics division yesterday, joining peers like MSC, Maersk and CMA CGM in entering the 3PL arena.

The state-controlled group said, in a Shanghai Stock Exchange filing, it wanted to optimise warehousing, trucking, container distribution, sea and rail freight, customs clearance, air freight and LCL transportation.

The windfall reaped by liner operators in the last two years, the result of logistical bottlenecks, has encouraged ocean carriers to invest in the logistics field.

There had been signs that Cosco wanted to enlarge its logistics capabilities. On 1 October, it was announced that Cosco Shipping Lines would take a 7% stake in affiliate Cosco Shipping Logistics Supply Chain, describing the move as “a strategic investment”.

Ocean carriers are ramping-up their vessel blanking programmes from Asia as export demand weakens, but last-minute cancellations are causing chaos in supply chains and confusion within liner offices.

Moreover, shippers are having to navigate their way around ‘officially’ announced blank sailings and voyages pulled just days before arrival in China and held off the loading port, in what carriers term as ‘slidings’.

A UK-based NVOCC told liner sailings from China had become “pot luck” and accused carriers of running “tramp services” instead.

“When we talk to the local offices, they haven’t got a clue as to what loops are still running. That gives us a headache for our export planning, as the so-called ‘alternative services’ offered by the lines may not even call in the UK,” he said.

Furthermore, there is also an impact on the forward berthing programmes of North European container hub ports from the constant network changes, along with disruption to linking feeder and barge relay services.

For example, a Dublin-based contact told that, for one particular shipment recently, its deepsea vessel’s name had been changed no less than four times after the connecting feeder had left Dublin port.
