国际海运美西最高涨1600美元、美东涨1100美元
集装海运美线2025年元旦运价涨定了!受工厂急于在农历新年前完成出货任务以及美东码头罢工威胁日益逼近的影响,全球主要船公司纷纷宣布上调美线运价.
具体来说,1月上半月,到美西的运价方面,长荣、阳明等公司分别将每40尺柜的运价上调了1500美元和1600美元,而MSC(地中海航运)、万海等公司则上调了1000美元,涨幅在20%-30%之间,美西运价有望逼近6000美元,达到5900-6100美元的区间.
到美东的航线,由于潜在的罢工威胁,多数船公司选择上调1000美元运价,而长荣、阳明、ONE等航商则分别上调了1050美元、1100美元和1175美元,涨幅在16%-18%之间,美东运价来到了6900-7100美元的区间.这一涨幅在一定程度上受到了转单效应的影响而被压抑.
货代业内人士透露,目前美西舱位紧张,加上阳明有一艘船搁浅事故的影响,预计到2025年1月下旬舱位紧张情况可能仍无法缓解.因此,同属THE联盟的航商ONE已经开加班船进行捡货,而长荣所属的海洋联盟也趁机抢货.阳明甚至在1月上旬就已经限制订舱更改以应对这一情况.
海运业在2025年一开始就宣布涨价,而紧接着美东码头的劳资合约也将在1月15日到期.川普已经表态支持劳方,反对资方提出的自动化方案,这使得美东罢工的风险进一步升高.
