The Red Sea detour isn’t over yet—are you ready for this round of price hikes in July?

 

大家好，我是宏铭达物流的Alice,说个要紧事，三大船公司——地中海航运、马士基、达飞，已经发了通知，7月份要大范围涨价了。这可不是小打小闹。一个40尺大柜，跑欧洲、地中海航线，实际订舱成本已经飙到13000美元上下的高位。基础运费涨，旺季附加费也在加，一个柜子光附加费就多收两三千美金。原因很直接：传统旺季提前到了，加上红海的事儿还在持续，船绕行好望角，船和箱子都周转不过来。舱位紧张，船公司自然就推高了价格。老板们，涨价不是新闻，关键是这波涨得又急又猛。我们必须帮客户盯紧动态，提前锁定舱位，把方案做在前面，别让运费波动打乱了客户的出货节奏。宏铭达物流，比货主还货主。点个关注，带你透过物流看透外贸本质。谢谢大家！

Hello everyone, this is Alice from Sunny Worldwide Logistics. I have some important news: the three major shipping lines—Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), Maersk, and CMA CGM—have issued notices announcing widespread rate hikes for July. This is no small matter. For a 40-foot container on routes to Europe and the Mediterranean, the actual booking cost has already skyrocketed to around $13,000. Not only are base freight rates rising, but peak season surcharges are also increasing—surcharges alone can add an extra $2,000 to $3,000 per container. The reason is straightforward: the traditional peak season has arrived early, and with the ongoing situation in the Red Sea forcing ships to reroute via the Cape of Good Hope, there’s a shortage of both vessels and containers. With space in short supply, shipping lines are naturally driving up prices. Business owners, price hikes are nothing new, but what’s critical is that this wave is both sudden and severe. We must help our clients closely monitor these developments, secure space in advance, and plan ahead to ensure that freight rate fluctuations don’t disrupt their shipping schedules.

Thank you, everyone!
