A number of airlines and freight forwarding practitioners said that due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the epidemic control, the limited transportation of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products is the key to the continued decline in market freight rates.
At present, all 16 districts of Shanghai have achieved social clearance, and the resumption of work and production is also progressing steadily. It is expected that the volume of goods will gradually pick up in the short term. With the accelerated resumption of work and production and policy support, the manufacturing industry will see a wave of retaliatory shipments, and the shipping industry is expected to usher in relatively strong market demand. At that time, the pressure on the supply chain will increase again, supporting the rise in freight rates. The industry expects to see a boost in volume at the end of May and early June at the earliest.
