The import demand of the United States is still at an all-time high. However, the import of containers may fall back. At present, the trans Pacific shipping system has rebounded to its maximum capacity limit and can no longer bear more full loads.
For some time, in many domestic ports, container registries are always full of waiting people.
Since the third quarter of last year, the phenomenon of shortage of containers and containers has spread in major ports. According to many media reports, some scalpers take the opportunity to sit on the ground and start prices, and some routes may not be able to grab a container if they increase the price by US $3000.
There are also a large number of manufacturers who are worried about the lack of containers. The warehouse of a handicraft manufacturing enterprise in Ningbo is full of products that haven't been transported, with a total volume of 1000 cubic meters.
"All 20 containers are going from early November 2020, and there is no definite shipping period until now."
The anxieties of enterprises constantly push up the sales price of containers.
Unlike the "one box is difficult to ask", the empty containers in Auckland port in New Zealand are overstocked. Since the second half of 2020, in order to store the empty containers that cannot be transported, they have successively found five new storage yards, with a maximum of nearly 6000 empty containers staying in Auckland.
"The container backlog is very heavy for all New Zealand shipping companies, twice as normal."

With the recovery of global economy, the trade demand of various countries has increased greatly. Due to the effective control of China's epidemic situation, China's manufacturing industry bears an important responsibility in the global industrial chain.
Data show that: in the first four months of this year, China's total import and export value of trade goods increased by 28.5% over the same period in 2020 and 21.8% over the same period in 2019.
Although it has been two months since the Suez Canal blockage incident, the aftereffects of its follow-up are not yet clear.
Coupled with the superposition effect of epidemic situation, the phenomenon of transportation chaos and port congestion is happening all over the world. There are sometimes more than 10 container ships waiting for loading and unloading at the anchorage outside Auckland port, New Zealand, with an average delay of 8 to 10 days.
Currently, at least seven of the 10 busiest ports in the United States often face congestion.
In Southeast Asia, Europe and other major ports, ships have been waiting for berthing for more than a week.
