Shipping Containers from China: Navigating Market Trends

Article by: Karl Erik Vanem
10 June 2024

What’s up with shipping containers from China?

The logistics sector plays a pivotal role in the economy, and we are currently seeing an intriguing market trend. Container shipping prices via sea freight have been skyrocketing and show no signs of stopping. What’s behind this and how can we take action?

Since the start of Russian aggression towards Ukraine, North and East Europe have seen many challenges. I’ve seen people getting laid off and companies closing down due to lost clients & decreased business. This has happened across Eastern and Northern Europe. Since the beginning of 2024, companies that survived have seen increased orders and projects. New clients have been onboarded, measures have been taken to avoid total closures. Also, future outlook has become more positive with warm weather. Seems like sunshine creates a better business environment?

Positive Outlook and Increased Demand

Positive outlook always brings in new opportunities with production companies revamping their lines. With this, the demand for moving goods is increasing. Since China has been a global economic powerhouse for nearly two decades, many clients are still looking towards China as a supplier. Rightfully so, as their capabilities, cost effectiveness and production capacity is still a major factor in supplier selection.

Current Market Challenges

Increased orders have driven the demand for shipping containers sky-high. As the cost for containers was relatively low in March ($3000 USD per 40′ container) compared to 2021 & 2022 (up to $12 000 per 40′), shipping via sea freight seemed to be a viable option, even with the Red Sea crisis.

However, shipping lines are actively monitoring the demand increase. With their increased costs to navigate around Africa to Europe, shipping lines have decided to rapidly increase Asia – Europe container prices up to 8000 USD per 40′ container for some carriers.

Rate increase has not troubled the merchants, since as of now, May 2024, China is basically running out of 40-foot containers. Most of the empties shipped back to China are immediately redeployed to factories to be loaded again.

Market Details on 40’ Containers from China

Freight modeRail freightSea freight
Cost on EXW incoterm10 500 EUR7 000 EUR
Transit time door-to-doorCa 30 daysCa 60 days
ReliabilityUp to 5-day delay in bordersUp to 14-day delay in ports
AvailabilityUp to 10-day delaysUp to 28-day delays

Actions for Shippers

How should you, as a shipper, act on these rate increases?

Plan Ahead

Getting the containers out smoothly from China seems to become the trend for 2024 summer. If you have early indications on the cargo readiness, choose the carrier – even if the price is not 100% confirmed. Not only the price, but the container availability will become a major factor in the summer of 2024.

Consider Rail Freight

Given the increased costs and transit times for sea freight, rail shipping remains a viable option. While rail freight prices are also rising, currently around €10 500 per container, rates might climb to €12 000 per container in June for door-to-door shipping on the China-Baltics/Scandinavia route. Transit times are approximately 25-35 days. Rail freight can be a cost-effective alternative to air freight.

Stability of Rail Routes

Despite uncertainties around rail routes passing through Russia and Belarus, the Silk Road route remains stable and worry-free. Significant Chinese investments (more than $25 billion) in the Silk Road ensure that the control of rail corridor is in Chinese hands. Our experience over the past two years shows absolutely no issues with transit countries.

Split Orders

Part of the goods sent via air freight and the rest via rail/sea freight ensure project completion in time. Although this is not the cheapest option, this strategy can help eliminate delays, optimize costs, and deliver much better on-time-performance to your clients.

I. Introduction

Ahoy, logistics gurus of the Nordic and Baltic seas! If you’ve sailed the waters of the logistics world as long as I have, you know that navigating the stormy seas of transportation costs is paramount. The beauty, challenge, and sheer vastness of our regions make logistics both a thrill and a challenge. Let’s dive in!

 

II. Understanding Transportation Costs in the Logistics Landscape

Every logistician worth their salt knows that transportation isn’t just about moving things. It’s about understanding the nuances behind the numbers. Fuel, labour, vehicle maintenance, tech, insurance, tolls, tax—it all adds up, especially in our unique Nordic and Baltic environments.

 

 

Just last winter, I chatted with a buddy in Estonia. He grumbled about the unexpected costs due to an unforeseen snowstorm. His trucks were delayed, and the overtime payments grew. These hitches inflate transportation costs in our region.

 

III. The Role of Digitization in Cost Control

Remember the days of paper? Technology is the rescue! Digital tools revolutionize how we manage costs. If you’re not digital yet, now’s the time.

 

a. Automated Route Optimization

I remember my first digital route tool. It was a magic compass. These tools analyze traffic and weather, suggesting routes. It’s about the smartest route. A Lithuanian associate saved fuel using route optimization. The yearly savings were huge!

 

b. Advanced Fleet Management Systems

Breakdowns during a delivery are nightmares. Fleet management systems give vehicle insights. It’s like a truck health monitor! Investing in these reduces unexpected repair costs. Early maintenance is cheaper.

 

IV. Efficient Training and Capacity Utilization

A Swedish colleague told me about a fuel-efficient driving program. In six months, they saw a dip in fuel costs. Sometimes, it’s about foundational strategies.

Ensuring full deliveries is like Tetris. More items per delivery mean fewer trips and lower costs.

V. Negotiating with Carriers and Partners

Building relationships in our industry is vital. I’ve seen how good ties lead to better rates. Working with a Latvian firm, we got priority during peak times and better rates.

 

VI. Leveraging Data Analytics for Predictive Cost Management

In this age, data is gold. Predictive analytics lets us foresee cost bumps. It equips us to prepare, not react.

 

VII. Exploring Alternative Modes of Transportation

In Latvia, a fellow logistician and I brainstormed alternatives. The solution? Sea and rail. The cost savings were huge! Multimodal solutions can save costs.

 

VIII. Transportation Cost Management Best Practices

I always say, “In logistics, adaptability is key.” Reviewing contracts, investing in tech, and flexible strategies are crucial. It’s vital to cut costs but ensure quality. That balance defines an efficient manager.

 

IX. Conclusion

Logistics in the Nordic and Baltic isn’t just about A to B. It’s about doing it efficiently, and smartly and controlling transportation costs. We have a unique landscape. With the right strategies, we sail smoothly. Every krona, euro, or lita saved is a step to profit. To a future of fast, efficient, cost-effective deliveries—Cheers!

Navigating compliance in logistics management is a challenging, yet crucial, aspect of running a successful operation. Compliance is not only about adhering to laws and regulations, but it’s also about minimizing risk, boosting performance, and fostering trust with partners and customers. With an ever-changing regulatory landscape, staying compliant can sometimes feel like a juggling act.

 

Understanding Compliance in Logistics

In the logistics industry, compliance refers to meeting the legal and regulatory requirements related to transporting goods. These may vary from safety and security measures to customs and import-export regulations.

In the Nordics market, there are unique regulations to consider, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that governs data privacy, and transport regulations like the Working Time Directive for mobile workers. The complexity and diversity of these rules demand a keen understanding and constant monitoring, something not easily achievable manually.

 

 

The Role of Digital Tools in Compliance

Enter digital tools. These not only simplify compliance but also streamline overall operations. They can automate tasks, reduce human error, provide real-time updates, and enable efficient record-keeping.

Let’s take automated data management, for example. With the GDPR, companies need to handle customer data responsibly, a task made much easier with the use of a digital platform. Additionally, digital tools can assist in keeping up with changes to transport regulations, ensuring that your operations remain compliant without needing to manually track every update.

Managing Compliance in Transport and International Freight

Transport, particularly international freight, has its own set of compliance challenges. This includes dealing with different countries’ customs regulations, safety standards, and legal requirements. It’s not just about getting goods from A to B; it’s about ensuring that every step is legally sound and efficiently managed.

This is where a logistics platform like MyDello can be a game-changer. With features tailored to manage international freight, businesses can ensure they adhere to the various regulations while still optimizing their operations.

 

The Impact of Non-Compliance

Non-compliance can have severe consequences. Beyond financial penalties, businesses may face reputational damage, operational setbacks, and legal issues.

Take, for example, the case of a well-known company that faced hefty fines for non-compliance with environmental regulations in their shipping processes. This not only cost them monetarily but also damaged their reputation among environmentally conscious customers.

 

How MyDello Helps Ensure Compliance

MyDello’s platform is designed to help manage and ensure compliance in logistics operations. It offers features such as real-time tracking, automated documentation, and data management, all designed to ensure compliance and increase operational efficiency.

As a logistics manager, keeping abreast of these trends will be key. Fortunately, platforms like MyDello are here to help, providing a digital solution to managing an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
