A shipment was sent to the European Union, but the shipping company had to postpone shipment. The reason was that the loading container was in urgent need.

It is reported that this phenomenon began in April of this year.

After a long period of foreign trade downturn, the shipping market has seen a very encouraging situation.

Container throughput reached 68 million 701 thousand and 800 TEUs in the first half of this year, up 22.3% over the same period last year.

By the end of June, the capacity of China's European routes has reached 300, which is 2 million 250 thousand standard boxes, which has increased by nearly 10% compared with the beginning of the year.

The rise in volume was beyond the expectation of the shipping company. In June, the shipping companies encountered the embarrassing situation of "ship, cargo and no box".

During the downturn, many shipping companies began to idle their capacity and empty their empty containers. A large number of empty containers were left behind by foreign companies in shipping lots because of the huge cost of pportation.

So the container is hard to find.

"Over two days, the sea freight will go up again. Many shippers are eager to book the cabin, hoping to catch up before the price rises."

Mr. Chen, a freight forwarder, said that the cost of shipping has been rising this year, including fuel surcharge and peak season surcharge.

Wenzhou Li China Shipping Agency Co., Ltd. Li Yi said that due to tight capacity of some routes, prices may rise in the near future, some airlines even show a rise in the price of Monday.

"The company's container shortage is mainly due to the withdrawal of some empty containers last year, but recently, with the pickup in volume, the company has eased the box tension through the rational deployment of containers."

Lin Xiaohua, a staff member of Wenzhou Office of Da Fei steamship Co., Ltd., told reporters that June and July was also the peak season in previous years, but this year's volume was particularly strong.

Li Haijun, Department of international trade of AOKANG footwear industry in Zhejiang, said that the shipping companies were designated by customers. When shipping was tight, the shipment of major customers would not be affected, and some small customers might postpone the shipment because of the container problem.
