10000 US Dollars, Skyrocketing Freight! What Profit Is There In Textile Trade?

In recent months, due to the unbalanced global economic recovery, the sharp rebound of epidemic situation in many places in the world, and the arrival of Christmas, new year and other traditional transportation peak seasons, many ports in Europe and the United States are congested, but many domestic ports are extremely short of containers. In this case, many large shipping companies began to levy congestion surcharges, peak season surcharges, shortage charges and other surcharges.

That is to say, the freight from the salt fields burst out last week to Al khsilas has reached a high level of 10000 USD, and Sudan has entered the era of 10000 yuan sea freight this week.

At present, the sea freight from Ningbo to Sudan has exceeded ten thousand US dollars. In addition, Ningbo to the British port Felix sto sea freight also reached a new high.

Industry analysts said that the "price rise" of container shipping is mainly due to the different degree of economic recovery of countries around the world after the outbreak of new crown pneumonia. At present, freight rates are almost at the highest level. With the past of the peak transportation season and the recovery of the global economy, the freight rates will slowly fall back.

Corresponding to the growth of China's foreign trade export, there is an obvious imbalance of global container shipping capacity resources. In Shanghai, Ningbo, Lianyungang and other large ports, due to the extremely lack of containers, the transportation capacity is greatly affected, resulting in the delay of berthing operation and the delay of some goods export. The situation of foreign ports is not optimistic.

The reporter visited the freight forwarding company and learned that not only the volume of goods has increased significantly, but also the freight prices of the main routes have also increased a lot.

Jiang, manager of an international freight line in Shanghai: for example, the Southeast Asia route has increased from 10 yuan / kg in early September to 18-20 yuan / kg now. European routes have also entered the traditional peak season, rising from 30 yuan / kg to 50 yuan / kg, and some extreme routes to 60 yuan / kg.

Yao Mou, deputy general manager of Shanghai international freight transport: basically, it has been increased generally, and even some specific routes have doubled.

For foreign trade textile workers, this situation may become even worse. A foreign trade salesman said: "recently, the sea freight has increased a lot. We are about to load the containers at the end of the month. The cabinets have been in short supply. Our customers are very worried. He told us that if the goods can not be delivered on time at the end of the month, they will have to change to air transportation. The air transportation price is really unbearable."

Generally speaking, the choice of sea transportation is because the cost of air transportation is too high. A textile man said: "last year, because we couldn't catch up with the shipping date, we left by air transportation, which was 200000 more. If we come several times more, it is estimated that the profit of that year will be completely wiped out."

Textile enterprises have been operating at a low profit, with a profit of 10% - 15%. Due to the long cycle of overseas textile orders, it is difficult for general enterprises to consider the change and fluctuation of freight. Therefore, once the price rises due to the shortage of cabinets, the high freight will be paid to fulfill the order contract, resulting in loss. It may take several orders later to make up for the loss of this order.

It's really miserable to do foreign trade this year. In the first half of the year, foreign trade almost stopped, and in the second half, foreign trade orders began to pick up. However, a series of cases such as shortage of containers and rising freight rates occurred, which led to the dilution of profits.

We would like to remind foreign traders who have recently shipped goods to pay attention to the latest port information to avoid unnecessary loss.
