How COVID-19 is driving up container costs

Exive International contacted the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management to get more insight into the causes of the container shortage that has been driving up prices for maritime transport for so long. And that while the blockade of the Suez Canal has long since been lifted. If we could only predict how long these import problems will last...

In addition, the ports in Asia were constantly faced with delays due to COVID 19. Even now, strict COVID measures in China are causing delays, and a short time ago, a container terminal of China's second largest port was closed.

These disruptions will continue to have an effect for a long time: worldwide repositioning of empty containers takes a long time. China has increased the production of containers, but that is not yet enough to make up for the shortages. And the new ships for the extra containers will not be ready to set sail tomorrow either...

Together with its partner manufacturers and trading partners in Europe, Exive is looking for the best way to deal with this. The effects are unavoidable, but we continue to look for the best way to manage our trade, for you and for ourselves.
