A Number Of Shipping Companies Began To Raise A Number Of Surcharges

With the national day of the 11th National Day approaching, all localities will usher in a long week of holiday - factories and suppliers will stop production due to the holiday. Inevitably, freight forwarders and customers will rush to deliver goods before the festival, which will lead to the delay of most major routes. Combined with the recent port congestion in the Asia Pacific region, this year's golden week may increase the impact of cross industry and cross regional maritime and inland transportation.

Maersk said that the peak period of shipment is usually 3-4 weeks before the golden week holiday. Although most ports, terminals and customs will still operate normally during the "11th" period, the carrier is likely to stop shipping during this period. If you want to make timely delivery and ensure that the goods can arrive at the destination port in time, customers are advised to book containers as soon as possible and plan the shipment time in advance.

Maersk predicts that the three regions most affected by this year's golden week are North America, the Asia Pacific region and Northern Europe.

Maersk said that even if it does not participate in China's container trade, it may also be affected by the golden week, which is closely related to the recent severe port congestion and supply disruption in the Asia Pacific region and the rest of the world, and may have a significant impact on the coming shipment.
