        德国集装箱船东赫伯罗特在10月29日的客户通知中表示，远东至北美航线集装箱运价加价将由11月1日推迟至12月1日。

 

        此前，由于中美两国的审查收紧，赫伯罗特已把1200美元/FEU的综合费率上涨附加费（General Rate Increase, GRI）从10月1日推迟到11月1日。其他各大船东也在上月推迟、撤消了GRI。

 

        一旦开始收取GRI，北亚到北美西海岸运价将再创历史新高。这条航线的普氏集装箱运价(Platts Container Rate 13)上次估算在3750美元/FEU，比起10月初的3800美元/FEU略低。

 

        跨太平洋航线难以订柜的现象仍将持续，恰逢节前补货订单量猛增。美国港口防疫措施使得亚洲出口码头的空箱调运有延迟，因此集装箱供应紧张。

Hapag-Lloyd postpones November trans-Pacific container rate hike

 

German container shipowner Hapag-Lloyd will postpone its Nov. 1 rate hike for East Asia to North America route until Dec. 1, the company said in a notice to clients on Oct. 29.

 

Hapag-Lloyd’s General Rate Increase (GRI) of $1,200/FEU was previously delayed from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1 as scrutiny from regulators in the US and China intensified. Other major shipowners similarly delayed or withdrew their proposed GRIs last month.

 

If fully implemented, the GRI would bring rates from North Asia to West Coast North America to a new multi-year high. Platts Container Rate 13 for the route was last assessed at $3,750/FEU, slightly lower from $3,800/FEU at the start of October.

 

Available space on container ships for trans-Pacific routes remains tight amid a surge in shipments for pre-holiday restocking. Containers themselves have been in short supply as coronavirus precautions at US ports have caused delays in repositioning the equipment at export terminals in Asia.
