The Red Sea crisis continues, and the price of shipping containers has risen sharply again.
According to CCTV news, Yemen Houthi armed spokesman Yahya. Sareya said on the 27th local time that the Houthis launched a drone attack on two U.S. Navy destroyers deployed in the Red Sea, and accurately hit the target.
The attack forced major shipping companies to bypass the Cape of Good Hope, exacerbating the global container capacity shortage, and container freight rates rose sharply again.
CMA CGM SA, based in Marseille, France, the world's third-largest shipping company, has announced that shipments from Asia to northern Europe in the second half of June will cost $7,000 for a 40-foot container, up from about $5,000 currently. General shipping costs are in the $6,000-6,500 range, while premium service is closer to $10,000.
The analysis pointed out that in the past five months of continuous attacks on the Red Sea, the container transportation industry is fully coping with the rising freight demand in the United States and Europe, and the capacity is becoming tighter.
Media data shows that major routes from Shanghai to Los Angeles, Rotterdam, Genoa and New York, which have experienced varying degrees of freight increases, are currently the most affected routes.
