With the escalation of epidemic prevention and control, the logistics transportation cycle across cities and provinces in Guangzhou, Foshan and other regions has lengthened, and the freight rates of some transportation companies have increased slightly. The closure of clothing markets such as Guangzhou No. 13 Bank in the terminal industry may affect the demand of the chemical fiber industry to a certain extent in the future.
According to the news, Guangzhou’s current epidemic prevention requirements are that citizens must not leave Guangzhou or leave the province unless necessary. Starting from 12:00 on June 7, those who really need to leave Guangzhou or leave the province will , need to hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours. Shenzhen’s requirements are that starting from 12:00 on June 7, those leaving Shenzhen must have a 72-hour nucleic acid negative certificate and a green code; those with Guangzhou or Foshan ID cards or a history of residence in Guangzhou or Foshan within 14 days must provide them within 48 hours Proof of negative nucleic acid test.
The local epidemic in South China has seriously affected the international shipping market
Transportation costs are rising again
The current local epidemic in Guangzhou and Shenzhen has seriously affected foreign trade shipments in South China.
It is understood that some foreign traders who are anxious to ship goods have begun to bring their goods to Xiamen Port, or are willing to pay more To spend money to go to Yangshan Port, some people even simply switched to rail transportation. However, these remedial measures also mean that transportation costs will rise again. In May, Hapag-Lloyd took the lead and decided to increase the GRI on the Asia-North America route starting from June 15, with a maximum increase of US$3,000 per 40-foot container. On June 2, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the world’s second largest shipping company, immediately issued a price increase notice. On the same day, COSCO Shipping issued a notice on the peak season surcharge (PSS) from Asia to Europe, with an increase of US$800 per container. This week’s Baltic Freight Index (FBX) is also amazing, with the Asia-Northern Europe line even rising by 11%!
Some people in the industry believe that the impact of the local epidemic in South China on the international shipping market is no less than that of the Suez Canal blockage incident .
Cumbersome cross-city procedures
Circulation areas in Guangzhou, Foshan and other places Transportation is blocked
Under the influence of the epidemic, the logistics transportation cycle across cities and provinces in Guangzhou, Foshan and other regions has lengthened, and the freight rates of some transportation companies have increased slightly.
Chemical products in Guangdong are basically transported by automobile. Under normal circumstances, a round trip across provinces and cities takes at least about 2 days. Although both cities will set up a number of nucleic acid testing points for trunk truck drivers to provide free nucleic acid testing services to truck drivers, due to the large amount of testing, it takes a long time to obtain results. Generally, drivers need to wait about 10-24 hours to get the nucleic acid test certificate results. This means that if they need to transport goods across cities and provinces, the driver needs to do a nucleic acid test one day in advance, which will extend the transportation cycle by 1-2 days.
In a survey of logistics companies in Guangzhou: A is a department manager of a private logistics company. The other party said that he had not received the nucleic acid test results from the nucleic acid test he did on the 30th. The process is cumbersome, and some transport drivers in the market are unwilling to take orders across cities, so the freight has increased by about 50-100 yuan/ton; Company B is the exclusive logistics company of Guangzhou Petrochemical, and the other party said that the time for the nucleic acid test results to come out is relatively good, basically 10 days The results can be checked in about an hour. The transportation cycle is lengthened, but the freight has not increased yet.
Under the influence of the epidemic
Some markets in the terminal textile and apparel industry are closed
Due to the intensification of the epidemic in Guangzhou, control has been tightened again. Liwan District has strictly controlled the entry and exit of people. The Guangzhou Shisanhang Clothing Wholesale Market and Zhongshan No. 8 Clothing Wholesale Market in this area have completely suspended operations. Merchants The stall is closed and the specific opening time will be notified. Guangzhou Shisanhang is a benchmark in China’s clothing market. It is also a first-class clothing wholesale center in Guangdong Province. It imports and exports thousands of tons of goods every day. It also supplies a large number of goods to online shopping stores. The closure of the clothing market has led to a decline in sales, which may affect demand in the chemical fiber industry to a certain extent in the future.
