Asian ports hit by Red Sea backlogs

The Red Sea crisis is challenging Asian ports as congestion with “echoes of the pandemic” is seen in Asia and the Middle East with analysts warning backlogs could also spread to European facilities.

Container ship diversions avoiding the Red Sea and Suez Canal are in a continuous state of flux, changing port calls and vessel sizes as carriers adjust Asia to Europe rotations to cope with demand.

These fluctuations, along with unexpected weather events and higher volumes, and holidays, including...

China backhaul costs mirror headhaul rate shifts

Rates on the Europe to Asia trades have mirrored headhaul trades with China’s import cargo paying more for carriage since the Red Sea crisis hit the industry in December.

At the end of last year, eastbound cargo out of European ports of origin was US$303/FEU, in January, as in the headhaul trade, rates started to climb as carriers diverted around the Cape, peaking at US$1,066/FEU on 1 February according to Xeneta, which shows rates on the slide again, now down to US$866/FEU.

According to Dynamar analysis, container carriers and conventional reefer operators “hit the jackpot” in 2022, after struggling for many years and after a relatively prosperous 2021.

With the container shipping sector in full swing and much capacity absorbed by congestion, boxships could not provide enough space to carry all the cargoes they were offered.

Dynamar reports that containers were regularly rolled over onto the next sailing, got stuck in terminals, or spent lots of time floating in...

Only slowing demand will sort Asian container backlog

Ports on both sides of the Pacific will not see relief from the congestion that is currently blighting the facilities until there is a slow-down in trade volumes, according to the forwarder Worldwide Logistics.

Asian ports are running out of space and equipment as a backlog of cargo, some two-three weeks long is blighting the ports in China and Southeast Asia, with Jon Monroe from Worldwide saying that the ports are “Too far behind” to catch up until demand for cargo falls.

“I have heard of...

ESC slams “immoral” lines

European shippers believe that the shipping lines’ reaction to the slump in demand as a result of the pandemic has been understandable, initially, but as the crisis developed the lines shifted from coping with under-utilised ships to profiteering.

Jordi Espin, the European Shippers’ Council policy manager for maritime affairs, told Container News, that shippers are concerned about the level of capacity cuts and the lack of service.

“It is not a strange situation,” explained Espin, “Three years...

Ripples from global pandemic helped reefer sector make a comeback

This year’s supply chain upheaval has proved a “silver lining” for the conventional reefer sector.
In January, Netherlands-based analyst Dynamar predicted a “stormy” year for conventional reefer shipping, with the expected surge in fuel costs from IMO 2020 likely to accelerate scrapping and the switch to refrigerated containers.
However, just weeks later, the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan – and its subsequent spread around the world – would spark unexpected demand for conventional …

IMO 2020 will result in scrapping of older reefer tonnage, says Dynamar

A surge in the scrapping of container tonnage is expected this year as a consequence of the introduction of the new fuel sulphur regulations according to the tenth edition of Dynamar’s Annual Reefer Analysis.

Comparatively few vessels have fitted scrubbers and so the carriers in the container sector will be required to switch to the more expensive low sulphur fuel oil (LSFO) and according to Dynamar’s analysis this will put add pressure on carriers who will struggle to take on the extra costs.
