Release time:

13 Jun,2023

In today's developed air and rail transportation, many people will think that slow-moving maritime transportation should be eliminated.In response to this public opinion, UASC said: This is for laymen to watch the excitement, because to this day, maritime transportation still affects the eyes of the world, is the “barometer” of the international market, and plays a vital role in the development of the global economy.

70% of the earth's surface is covered by the ocean. Maritime transportation is an important link and bridge connecting the world, carrying global trade, creating global value, and transmitting global civilization.Compared with other modes of transportation, the advantages of maritime transportation are concentrated in terms of transportation capacity, transportation network, and transportation prices.90% of the world's economy is done by sea. It is difficult to imagine how the world would change if there was no sea transportation in the world.So whoever seizes the marine market first will be the winner in the future.It is also that UASC, as the world's largest maritime carrier of dry goods to the Middle East, has long had the upper hand in this economic game. Together with its parent company Hapag-Lloyd, it has built a global maritime network and continues to provide customers with first-class service, convenient methods and safe transportation.

Everyone in the circle knows that shipping is one of the oldest and most important industries in the world. It has always been at the forefront of the global trade market and is the “barometer” of the international market.Its prosperity and prosperity are prerequisites for ensuring world trade and human development.Ships operating on the ocean are loaded with commodities, energy, raw materials, etc., and various containers are all over the world, which also connects the world.Moreover, the shipping market has a leading role in the international trade market, and the perfect operating structure of the shipping market has an important role in promoting the international trade market.Therefore, “the sea is flowing with pillars, and the mountains are majestic to see the main peak."If you want to gain an in-depth understanding of the trends in the international market, you may wish to take a look at the direction and characteristics of the development of maritime transportation. You can already see the big from a small perspective and grasp the direction of the global economic situation from one field.

It is said that practice is the only standard for testing truth, and data is the most essential reference condition in the field of science.The tariff index has always been the focus of attention in the global shipping industry.The Baltic Sea Index (BDI) not only plays a guiding role in the international shipping industry, but also has an important impact on fields such as international finance and trade.Choice data show that recently, the BDI index ended its downward trend for nearly a month and rebounded to above 1,000 points.As of June 9, BDI closed at 1,055 points, rising for five consecutive trading days, with a cumulative increase of more than 13%.It can be seen that on the basis of the market's expectation of an improving economy and increased future demand, the transportation volume of commodities from various countries around the world has actively increased, which has increased the increase in dry bulk freight transportation fees.After experiencing a sluggish market due to the epidemic, entering 2023, shipping giants such as UASC's parent company Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk have already raised container freight rates several times, and the shipping market is booming.

All in all, the maritime industry is the basic carrier of economic and social development, which is directly related to the healthy development of the economy and society, and is closely related to people's daily lives.If the maritime industry system collapses, it will not only affect the normal operation and economic security of the economies of various countries around the world, but also affect the normal lives of the people of the whole country.Therefore, as a loyal defender of the development of maritime transportation, UASC will also continue to polish technology, create momentum, and achieve the sustainable and healthy development of maritime transportation.
