Recently, the international dry bulk freight has suddenly increased rapidly. According to the data released by S & P global Platts on July 20, the dry bulk freight of some commodities has been at a high level in the past 11 years. The average international freight price has soared four times, and the international freight price is still rising. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the "detention rate" of international containers has increased significantly. According to the calculation of the International Container Association, since the second half of last year, the shipper can only return one container for every three containers sent out, and the remaining two containers are all stranded at the port of the recipient. It is very difficult to recover them in a short time. At present, a large number of containers are stranded in the ports of the United States, Europe, Australia and other countries and regions. The consequence of these long-term and large number of stranded containers is the shortage of containers, which makes it difficult for shippers in other regions to find one container. In this case, Some shipping facilities eager to ship goods will raise the freight to obtain containers.
