Recently, the international logistics situation has been far from ideal. Issues such as warehouse congestion, shipping suspensions, and Amazon warehouse capacity shortages indicate that supply has been unable to keep up with demand. With the holiday season approaching, especially between Christmas and the Chinese New Year, logistics pressure continues to intensify.
Large-scale shipping disruptions have occurred on major Europe–U.S. routes, and Amazon’s DL4 warehouse has also experienced operational limitations.
In recent weeks, significant port congestion and shipping delays have been reported across the Europe–U.S. routes. According to statistics, the number of suspended voyages on the Trans-Pacific routes has reached 122, while 23 voyages were suspended on the U.S. East Coast routes.
In addition, over the next four weeks, the world’s three major shipping alliances plan to cancel around 30 voyages. Combined with the already severe congestion at U.S. ports, the challenges facing ocean freight logistics are expected to intensify further.
As widely known, the global supply chain crisis began to emerge worldwide in 2021. According to Adobe, by Black Friday this year, the number of out-of-stock notices on U.S. retail websites had increased by 124% compared with pre-pandemic levels.
Currently, the global industrial supply chain operates in a “three-pillar structure.” These include the North American supply chain center led by the United States, the European supply chain center led by France, and the Asian supply chain center led by China. As the saying goes, “when one part is affected, the whole system responds.” With ongoing instability in the United States and Europe, logistics and freight transportation between China, Australia, and the United States are also increasingly affected by these disruptions.
In addition, in order to better help businesses reduce transportation costs and prepare for peak shipping seasons, Huosu International Logistics has recently launched several special logistics services, including China–U.S. express delivery partnerships, U.S. international ocean freight, and promotional air freight rates.
