"Recent shipping prices rise too far, and shortage of container in severe cases, it is a case is hard to find." Qingdao has a large import and export group subordinate company head of Mr. Lin to economic herald reporter lament.
Herald reporters later learned that in shipping prices lead to increased demand, under the stimulus of a thriving, Qingdao container manufacturing enterprises generally want to order a few months later, after the international financial crisis influence and container manufacturing enterprises have also reopened and fill the order.
However, container manufacturing is really recovery, or of false prosperity as a result of the rocketing price of shipping, the personage inside course of study.
Blowout demand booming industry
According to Qingdao customs statistics, the first seven months of the year in Qingdao container export completed $600 million, up 41.3% from a year earlier, but the first five months of the year the city's containers, also has been a negative growth, since June to spurt - exports reached $116 million, to $125 million in July, up 405.1% from a year earlier.
Container export boom, also prompted some affected by the international financial crisis in succession and production enterprise construction and production. Guides the reporter understands, Qingdao new huachang container shipping co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as the "new huachang") in the production of more than 20 months after June 25 to resume production, and the order is full.
"We work five days, I put 3 months in order to sign is full, the row until the end of September." New huachang, deputy general manager to jung says, now the container is a case of is hard to find, in early June of manufacturing orders, price has already reached $2700, and at the end of last year's price is only $1800 to $1900, and now taking goods to wait at least three months or so.
Review the reporter understands, new huachang, with registered capital of 17 million us dollars in 2007 completed and put into production on April, but influenced by the international financial crisis, since the second half of 2008 in production situation. Production has also led to one of the shareholders of Qingdao shipment group last year to 20.45 million yuan on its holdings of the new huachang 15% of state-owned property rights.
Benefit from the hot container demand and the new huachang is currently full production. We have learned, from more than 50 days to return to work until now, the new huachang has exported 8000 containers. If it is not subject to artificial insufficiency, the capacity is limited, the production will be higher. Herald reporter sees in the zhaopin online, new huachang since August 21, through the network recruiting employees, job including auxiliary work, mold, such as CNC hydraulic engineering nearly 20 jobs.
In addition to new huachang, Qingdao cimc imparted by the company's business also hot. It is understood that by the end of July, the company has standard production, special freezer, cooler, 13496, 13505 sales, sales revenue of $130 million. In order to cope with the huge demand, the company has restored the double class in August production. 24 reported for release of cimc group (000039), said the group in the first half of the total sales of 482800 TEU container (20 feet container), during the same period rose 777.74% over the previous year.
"True prosperity" needs to be confirmed
"Shipping capacity drop cause freight rate rise, container cases of severe deficiency, the sudden increase in requirements makes the some container leasing company or shipping company to order to cause the blowout of container manufacturing." Qingdao global international freight forwarding company marketing manager Zhao Xue to herald reporter said.
Zhao Xue destination as the United States, for example, at present to the United States in the west of the container freight rate has reached $2200, to $3200, eastern pricing than mid-august before rose by about $200, has reached all-time highs.
At the same time, in view of all sorts of container shipping surcharge also emerge in endlessly. A few days ago, China ocean (601919) announced a container shortage "surcharge" on some routes; Maersk also issued a statement, then will add "peak season surcharge", a standard is $750 per teu to northern west Asia routes, $1000 per big ark, ultra-high ark fee of $1200 each. It is understood that the cause of this situation is the shortage of container, and one of the important reason is the shipping company in the international financial crisis after the slow steaming measures. Ago, range of 10 to 11 days from Qingdao to North America can be reached, the international financial crisis let owner aware of liner speed problems, reduced to a reasonable speed can save more fuel, but also make Qingdao range increased to 15 days or so to North America. Protracted and navigation, ship owners to maintain the original flight capacity will increase, will inevitably take up more of the container.
In addition, in the first half of this year, the country part of the port corresponding air routes also increased the demand for container. Combined with the international financial crisis, the ship company and container leasing company scrapped in advance a batch of container the end of the period, has increased the market demand for container.
Herald reporter noticed that the container is the background of "popular" in the first half of China's foreign trade. According to statistics, in the first half, China's exports of $705.1 billion, up 35.2% from a year earlier. In terms of Qingdao, exports during the first half of 15.04 billion us dollars, up 23.1% from a year earlier.
But recovery in foreign trade, shipping prices under the stimulus of container demand is sustainable, the personage inside course of study is divided. Qingdao foreign trade and economic cooperation bureau of the relevant personage says, now a container of buyers is primarily container leasing company rather than the shipping company, the demand of container leasing company has the characteristics of temporary, and shipping company don't want to buy in large quantities of container, the potential demand for container is a concern. In addition, affected by the international financial crisis, many container delayed delivery or production, production of the enterprise, some small, or even bankruptcy, is also a cause of the contradiction between supply and demand of the container industry. This view, container manufacturing of real recovery still need to wait for the real economy further strengthened to confirm.
