The epidemic has brought a heavy blow to the container shipping companies, and it will take time to restore the normal transportation state. The large number of empty containers overstocked in the ports of European and American countries, such as the United States, Britain, Australia and other countries, has been stranded at the ports for a long time, resulting in the imbalance and blocking of the whole import and export speed, which further leads to the shipping market not being transported Enough. In addition, the European and American consumer season is coming, in the next period of time, shipping prices will remain high.
The shortage of containers may not be improved until after the Spring Festival next year. The freight rate of every 20 foot container exported from China to Singapore has soared by 253% in the first half of November alone. Besides one container problem, another important reason is that the liner companies have directly transferred the ships originally used for Southeast Asia routes to the United States.
1) Affected by the epidemic situation, many production enterprises in many countries have not been able to alleviate the phenomenon of shutdown and production, and the epidemic situation has not been effectively controlled. China’s domestic production enterprises resumed production, and the proportion of domestic material exports increased greatly, resulting in the shortage of shipping space.
2) Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the global demand for cargo transportation has been sharply reduced, and major shipping companies have suspended shipping routes, reduced the number of trips of export containers, and substantially dismantled idle container ships.
3) Western Christmas, the arrival of Black Friday, many European and American merchants began to stock up. Since September, the proportion of exports has soared. Many shipping companies can’t put out the equipment list and can’t pick up the boxes.
4) Regardless of the cause of the epidemic, the cost of shipping will also rise from September to November in previous years. Therefore, in the three months of this year, the freight rates of Sino US shipping routes have skyrocketed by 128%, and other routes have generally increased.
As a result, many companies have to let their employees work at home. Many families can’t go out to get together. People have more time to stay at home. Online shopping is convenient and efficient. The most important thing is security. People can avoid too much contact with the outside world. Orders in the e-commerce industry have soared. Led by Amazon, e-commerce giants are expanding their warehouses and adding more transportation personnel.

When using, the chair can be quickly removed, and the chair can be stacked on the trolley, occupying a very small space. When the chair is not in use, it is stored in a trolley and pushed by a metal hand, steel trolley is very stronger and has high load capacity. It can also be directly used for other goods handling and storage. Some large warehouses, canteens, leasing and even wholesalers are very fond of the naked trolley.
