Since Chinese New Year, vessels have been full to capacity. Both for export & import shipments. Most trade lanes are affected but particularly the Middle East & Far East. Carriers have adjusted schedules and reduced allocations for containers to / from Europe. As a consequence of the limited capacity, sea freight rates have been increased. Further increases are expected from April 1st onwards. We recommend, for you to place your bookings well in advance, or wherever possible, advise us of your schedule. We will always try to get you the earliest possible sailing, for the best rate! |
