摘要：	As our global correspondent Karen Thuermer reported last month as part of our comprehensive State of Logistics Report, it appears that stormy conditions will prevail for the global ocean freight market given the continued shortage of shipping services and containers combined with congested ports. "Ocean carriers seem be dealing with an ongoing ripple effect," says Thuermer. "And a major catalyst was the Shanghai lockdown that started in mid-March, which resulted in cancelled sailings by all alliances. Now with Shanghai opening again, West Coast seaports continue to brace themselves for a massive cargo surge." In fact, London-based Transport Intelligence (Ti) recently told Thuermer that these factors, along with current economic trends, will continue to affect rates, producing potentially violent swings. "Rising inflation and the ratcheting up of interest rates have already begun to suppress demand on head-haul routes into Europe and North America," Ti states. However, it could be expected that at least some upward pressure on rates will dissipate as consumer demand drops."
