| 摘要： | Since early 2020, shippers have been experiencing capacity crunch scenarios resulting from container shortages, port congestion, and skyrocketing freight rates. And now the experts agree that 2022 will be another year of unreliable, very expensive international ocean transportation. Before the pandemic, sending a container from Shanghai to Los Angeles cost around $2,000. By early 2021, the same journey cost as much as $25,000 per container. Ongoing pandemic and subsequent supply chain disruptions have only exacerbated these trends. "Logistics players have struggled as every cog in the wheel started to wear out one after the other," says Johannes Schlingmeier, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Container xChange, an online marketplace for container leasing. "They should expect the same this year." Meanwhile, while those in the supply chain struggle, steamship lines have benefited with enormous earnings and profits. Maersk, for one, is set to report net income of more than $17 billion for 2021, according to analyst estimates. |
