Shenzhen Taijie kindly reminds you to confirm with the shipping company whether there is a shortage of containers when booking. Let's talk about why the box is missing?

We all know that China is a country with a trade surplus. Imports and exports are unbalanced. This leads to fewer imported containers and more exported containers. Container ships often burst out and enter half-cabins. If the shipping company fails to arrange the return of the backlog of empty containers in time, there will be fewer mobile containers and boxes. Due to the bankruptcy of a small number of shipping companies, or the serious damage to the cabinets of some shipping companies, some of the cabinets that should be used for mobile were once crushed and unusable. The peak season effect has exploded, causing the export of goods to soar. The amount of empty containers originally planned to be adjusted and stored cannot meet the requirements of the booker, resulting in short supply and shortage of containers.

With the implementation of the National One Belt One Road policy and the convening of the BRIC Conference, the overall shipping market demand has risen, the demand is greater than expected, the industry is picking up rapidly, and the supply of boxes is in short supply. The adjustment of the box has a certain lag, and it will take some time to solve it . The foreign environment is severe. Workers' strikes, port congestion, hurricanes, and ship schedule delays have caused the slow return of empty containers. If the container management department cannot respond in time, there will be extreme shortages of containers if the dispatch is not good. In addition, in order to maintain the relationship with major customers, shipping companies will reserve boxes for VIP customers. In the case of shortage of boxes, some ordinary customers cannot pick them up.
