Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand:
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the shipment volume has decreased, and the freight rates of near-sea routes have been reduced across the board. Shipping companies are now actively stockpiling goods, and most goods are at risk of being dumped. If you have large shipments, you can negotiate prices separately; many countries in Southeast Asia also have New Year holidays, and both the port of departure and the port of destination can apply; For Australia and New Zealand routes, the price fluctuations have been very large recently, and the price has been falling every day. If you are not sure about the freight rate, it is best to confirm it with us separately, and large shipments can be applied separately; For Taiwan, the freight rate has been halved recently, and you can still receive goods on the 16th, and there will still be a downward trend in the future.
Europe: Europe: ONE price at the end of the month dropped by 600/1000 compared with the mid-month freight rate. The cost freight rate of European price 2038/3606+ also dropped significantly. EMC European freight rate also showed a downward trend in the second half of the month, with the price of 2600/4000+, which was 200/600 lower than the previous voyage. The price at the end of the month does not charge overweight fees. COSCO's current freight rate is 2725+ 4500+. After comparing with many companies, the advantageous shipping companies in Europe are ONE, EMC, COSCO, although there is no overweight fee, but it has a weight limit, and light cargo can be loaded. Those who have European cargo can give priority to these two. Due to limited space and continued strong customer demand, those who want to collect cargo should arrange booking as soon as possible. Whether the subsequent freight rates will be used or increased cannot be fully guaranteed.
Mediterranean: The Mediterranean is the same as Europe, and the prices have been updated. ONE's small container at West Base Port is over 3100/4700+. Although the price is favorable, there is an overweight fee of 600 for heavy containers, so light cargo is recommended first. EMC's small container at West Base Port is over 3700/5300+ (excess weight fee is waived). If you require direct delivery, you can consider Evergreen for short voyages. The settlement range is expected to be large. COSCO's West Base Freight Rate is 3750/5100+ without overweight fee, and the freight rate is also reduced. Special price for receiving goods in the Mediterranean and North Africa, light and heavy goods can be accepted, and the goods need to be confirmed separately. Comparing the two, ONE and COSCO are preferred for small containers. For Mediterranean cargoes that require direct delivery, Volta and Turkish Shipping are preferred. Although ONE has cabin insurance, it is still necessary to book about ten days in advance to ensure the space.
