International shipping giant announces increase in freight rates

A few days ago, the a.p.- /teu Maersk Group, the world's largest container shipping company, announced that from March 1st, the container freight rate from Asia to Europe increased by 775 US dollars to /teu, reaching US $1375 /teu, which has exceeded the previous market price of US $600 and more than doubled.

In addition, Maersk also said that the price will continue to adjust next month, the increase is expected to be 400 US dollars /teu.

After that, Maersk will consider whether to continue price adjustment based on market performance in three or four.

Maersk's confidence in raising the freight rate against the market comes from the increase in his volume of business. Maersk public figures show that 2011 container traffic has increased by 11%, and Maersk has "regained its share of the market lost in 2010".

Luo Binbin, who is engaged in freight forwarding business in Yiwu, said that the volume of business fell sharply last year. The major shipping companies were constantly adjusting their prices to reduce freight directly or in disguised form. At the beginning of the new year, Maersk began to adjust the price greatly, on the one hand, for profit consideration, and also proved that shipping companies were optimistic about global trade this year.

Subsequently, major shipping companies may follow suit.

Shanghai shipping freight derivatives trading data show that European container forward contracts have reached a record high.

Yesterday morning, the eu1203 contract rose again, reaching 1606 points, and the eu1205 and eu1208 contracts opened at the same time.

Lower export expectations and adjust export direction

As the first exhibition of Spring Festival, the East China Import and Export Fair has always been regarded as a barometer of China's foreign trade.

According to the insiders, the order is good in the first half of this year, slightly more than that in the same period last year, but the orders in the second half of next year and next year are much reduced. The next task is to further develop new markets and enter the high-end market in Europe and the United States.

Hangzhou Donghua Chain Group Co., Ltd., which started a total of less than 20 days in the first two months of this year, said Zhang, the head of the company's foreign trade department. The company's main customers are in Europe and the United States. From the current order situation, it is expected that the annual sales volume will keep the volume of last year.

Xie Rongfang, executive chairman of Wenzhou shoe leather industry association, said that the current foreign trade situation is worse than that after the financial crisis in 2008.

Wenzhou shoes accounted for more than 60% of footwear in the whole province, accounting for about 25% of the total exports of Wenzhou. After the financial crisis in 2008, the export of Wenzhou shoes increased by 1 billion US dollars annually, reaching 4 billion 723 million US dollars last year.

However, judging from this year's situation, the debt crisis in Europe and the United States has a relatively large impact on the local small and medium-sized footwear export enterprises: "there are 1028 footwear export enterprises in Wenzhou, most of which are affected by different degrees. It is expected that sales will be flat this year."

Foreign trade enterprises are expected to get more policy support.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, foreign trade enterprises are expected to get more policy support for the good policies of foreign trade enterprises.

In early March, the central bank, the Ministry of finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of customs, the State Administration of Taxation and the China Banking Regulatory Commission jointly issued the notice on the management of RMB settlement enterprises in the export trade.

The notice clearly states that enterprises with import and export qualification can carry out RMB settlement business in export commodities trade according to the "cross border trade RMB settlement pilot management measures".

"Cross border RMB settlement not only avoids the losses caused by exchange rate fluctuations, but also facilitate the external cooperation of enterprises.

For example, there is no need to write off.

This is a great advantage for foreign trade enterprises. "

Hangzhou Hengli Electrical Appliance official said.

At yesterday's press conference, Chen Deming said that this year's foreign trade is expected to achieve a growth target of around 10%. In order to achieve this goal, the Ministry of Commerce will start from three aspects: first, maintain steady growth in foreign trade and reduce foreign trade enterprises.
