2020 is an extraordinary and unpredictable year. At the beginning of the outbreak in China, the scale and speed of its impact shocked everyone. Despite the blockade measures in the affected areas and restrictions on personnel movement and travel, commodity consumption has not stagnated. More than 80% of the goods are transported to the world by container ships, so it is very important to maintain the circulation of trade.

Through close cooperation with ports and other related enterprises, we have avoided many operational problems related to ships, services and goods. "

This year, due to the shortage of power supply for refrigerated containers at some Chinese terminals, shippers have encountered some difficulties in importing refrigerated or frozen goods. MSc mediterranean shipping has provided quick and powerful help to these customers by transferring the affected goods to other transit or alternative ports and doing its best to deliver the goods to the original destination port.

Boost the recovery of trade growth

At the beginning of the outbreak, the sudden slowdown of trade led to the reduction of transport capacity of container transportation network to meet the low demand for freight. Like other global carriers, MSC Mediterranean has cancelled a number of routes, but is also fully committed to providing the affected cargo with the necessary alternative routes and contingency plans to eliminate the impact on customers.

MSc mediterranean shipping has been keeping a close eye on market changes. In recent months, MSC Mediterranean has cautiously increased its capacity in response to signs of market recovery.

"According to market demand, we have invested more capacity or added new services in some major trade routes, such as China US and China Europe routes, and have close communication with customers to ensure their shipping space and container supply in MSC," Zhu added

These measures support China's strategy of developing transportation network in Southwest China and promoting trade between China and Southeast Asia.

Over the past few months, China's imports have been on the rise. China's middle class is huge and growing, and its increasing purchasing power has stimulated more demand for imported goods. At the same time, more goods are being shipped to China under a number of new bilateral trade agreements.

In addition, Zhu Jing said: "this year, MSC mediterranean shipping is honored to assist in two landmark fruit transportation projects - helping Chinese consignees transport avocados from Colombia for the first time and oranges from Chile to the mainland of China. The transportation of perishable items such as fruits and vegetables requires extremely meticulous service and high level of professional knowledge, and we are pleased to gain the trust of fruit suppliers.
