Shipping lines can’t cope with booming perishables trade

Cool Industry News, Cool News, Home Page News, Industry News, May newsletter,
According to shipping consultancy group Drewry, shipping lines are “far from coping” with the seasonal demands of perishables.

Reefer container freight rates are soaring, but shipping lines still can’t cope with the seasonal demands of perishables, according to shipping consultancy group Drewry.

With a big uptick in seasonal cargo demand together with rising bunker charges,  a weighted average of rates across the top 15 “reefer-intensive” tradelanes jumped 26% in the first quarter, reported Drewry.

Tight container supply is adding to the problem and despite record reefer production levels, container shortages are expected to continue beyond 2021. 

For customers, this presents a very challenging scenario.

Shrinking salmon sizes threaten world fish trade

Wild salmon under threat by climate change with implications for the global fish trade

Salmon are shrinking in size and scientists are trying to establish the cause – but the consensus is that climate change is the main culprit.

This change in size could impact global fish trade, as consumers in different markets prefer different sizes when it comes to their salmon: in Japan, a smaller fish is favoured but in Europe, bigger fish are popular, especially due to the popularity of smoked salmon.

Hordes of reefer containers on the move by rail again

Cool Industry News, Cool News, Home Page News, Industry News, May newsletter
Since the 1st of April refrigerated transport to China has resumed. It was put on hold over concerns about the transmission of the coronavirus via containers. Chinese rail companies are now fully back on track with the cold chain, to the delight of the European industry.

In the first three months of 2021, the Chinese government suddenly put a hold on the transport of reefers by rail, largely due to their concerns that COVID-19 could live longer in a cold environment. But now reefers on rail are back transporting a range of goods that require temperature-controlled conditions, including vital pharmaceuticals and frozen food as well as flowers and more. 

The team at RailFreight.com interviewed New Silk Way Logistics to discuss reefer trade by rail between China and Europe.
