The rise in the delivery costs at the beginning of 2025 due to the problems and strikes of customs

Immediate prices for cargo offerings to the United States from Asia rose last month, as companies are looking for the highest customs tariffs and improve their shares before a strike threatens to close the ports dealing with about half the amount of trade in the country. A 40 -foot -holder on the western coast of the United States of Asia amounted to $ 6 thousand dollars as on January 1, an increase of $ 50% of $ 4004 a month ago, according to “Xeneta” data, which is a delivery cost company and based in Oslo. Shipping prices also rose 31% to $ 7100 to the US East Coast. Emily Stoosepol, the first analyst in the field of shipping at “Zenita”, said that the market is seeing an increasingly more demand question as a result of ‘much mystery’. “2024 years were very difficult for the shipping sector, and the challenges could continue or increase in 2025,” she added. For more than a year, the global container fleet has avoided a lot of sailing over the Red Sea due to the wooden attacks on the western ships, and maritime transfers are expected to continue until safety in the marine newly guaranteed. The relief of the capacity of the shipping sector has grown longer, which reduced the absorption capacity and imposed rising pressure that increased the holding prices during most of 2024. Fear of future supplies is what drives current challenges in the market. A threat to organizing a strike in the ports of the East Coast and the US Gulf later this month, in addition to the increase in customs duties on US imports promised by President Donald Trump to impose goods coming from China and other major commercial partners. “When Trump’s inability to predict Trump’s policy in the field of trade contributes to the comparison, it begins to understand the reason for the problems of managing the ship enterprise to the risk of supply chain and delivery costs in light of this complicated and broad arrangement,” Staospol said. It is said that the growth of growth is expected to delay later in the year, and that the current pressure and high immediate prices can be limited to the first quarter. Most marine delivery costs are not paid according to direct prices, but are paid according to the conditions of long -term contracts between goods and transport companies. But the immediate price market affects negotiations associated with long -term contract prices that usually occur during the first quarter of the AD.
