Shipping lines keep raising fees, enterprises facing more hurdles
Thu, 27 May 2021
Many container shipping lines have announced further increases in transportation fees starting from late this month, causing difficulties for import-export companies.
Six months on from when a lack of containers globally pushed up marine transportation fees, import and export companies were expecting that the fees would be reduced thanks to the vaccination campaigns which helped control Covid-19.
However, experts said it would be very difficult for the container shipping fees to come back to the pre-pandemic levels despite successfully containing the virus and no severe shortage of containers.
