"At present, the rate of shipping their short positions in about 20% of the shipping companies, this figure is very embarrassing." Yesterday, the China Shipping Container Lines Yiwu Mr. branch person in charge, the financial crisis on the real economy has begun to affect the impact of logistics industry.
The industry believes that the current situation, the logistics business in Yiwu enterprises, nearly half appeared to lower profits or even losses, small and medium-sized logistics enterprises from the market only a matter of time. Yiwu market, the global radiation as a supporting feature, the pattern of the logistics industry's competitiveness in the industry under the pressure of shrinking demand, irreversible integration into the industry.
Shipping
Price war
Inability to upgrade the transportation business
More than from the Yiwu logistics, freight forwarding companies have found that, in the face of declining volume of business, many logistics enterprises to get the business of playing the original price war. Taken together, the experience of freight last year, down significantly after April this year, a single box shipping container prices, or about 500 in each. However, from the beginning of May, and down 300 yuan, the logistics of supply exceeding demand in the current market price inevitable.
Sinotrans subsidiary company of the responsible person Yiwu frankly, the price is now shipping the same period last year, only 1 / 3 about the maritime market is entering the winter season. The industry is most concerned about the problem is, when will this really warmer?
China Shipping Container Lines Yiwu Branch head of Mr. Zhang, in addition to a pure price war, many shipping companies also reduced the transport vessels to reduce costs, there are trade and transport business reasons for asymmetry. Ningbo vessel sent to Japan as an example, a vessel loaded from the Ningbo port, a port in Japan after the arrival, they found no goods shipped back to China, it is equivalent to one-way transportation, that will not empty the cost less, no doubt an increase of shipping company's operating costs. In the global financial crisis when the real economy, shipping companies can only reduce the transport vessels.
It is understood that the logistics industry in order to maintain the operating system-related, shipping companies, while reducing the shipping time, freight transport can be zero. Zero refers to the lowest shipping price of transportation of goods, different from their short positions from. The reason is that there are shipping logistics downstream terminal handling companies, road transport companies and other related links, once there is no loading and unloading goods can be, the employees of these links will bring about the wider impact. Therefore, government departments in some countries would prefer to give shipping companies the support, it would not take look at enterprise without the status of cargo can be transported. In fact, in all countries the trend of sharp drop in import and export business, the shipping price war is a last resort but effective way to do.
Land
Waiting for an opportunity to boost domestic demand
Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta region compared to other regions of the road transport industry, the impact of the global financial crisis becomes more apparent. Transport, Posts and Telecommunications Department, Zhejiang Economic and Trade Commission and the secretariat of the provincial transport association released figures show that the briefing, the first quarter of this year, the province although the volume of road freight transport increased by 3.6% year-on-year to reach 263 million tons, but only slightly in the fourth quarter of last year added.
The logistics industry for many years engaged in road transport drivers to the freight forwarding Mr. Gong told reporters that around October each year, road transport will have a different rate of price increases, generally in the range of 10% ~ 20%, but last year, the price changes little, Until now, not only failed to rebound, but declined.
International Trade City in a short-haul freight market operation of Mr. Chen, the previous gap between the goods market and in the field will not be empty, but now there is one short car has become commonplace. The main reason is the decline in market demand, the relative excess capacity. "If it is not, I intend to break the first time, after all, can not afford the cost of consumption."
It appears in the freight drivers, and now the frequent fluctuations in oil prices, coupled with tax reform policy, the way to run more spending more oil, and highway management department of the identification of overloading of goods vehicles has become increasingly strict, the event under investigation, This is a waste of time and pay a fine, it is not worthwhile.
Zhejiang Heng Feng delivery companies believe that the local enterprises, business households and gradually reverse the domestic trade from foreign trade to the development of the concept of land will bring development opportunities for the logistics industry. Compared to overseas logistics, domestic land transport industry, firstly, there are more mature hardware transport, and secondly to establish mutual cooperation easy alliance, to provide logistics information more symmetrical. Therefore, as long as the local market in the domestic market share of more, of the land compatible with the logistics industry will not face any way.
Industry perspective
Transition is then integrated
It is reported that as a relatively late start of the domestic logistics industry, for a long time there is no corresponding system of laws and regulations, limiting the healthy development of the logistics industry, some violation of the logistics enterprises operating in the formal enterprises and even the "bad money expulsion good money, "the counter-productive. Lack of well-established norms, resulting in disorderly competition in the industry, under the financial crisis, will hinder the overall development of the logistics industry.
On Yiwu, the local market to a strong radiation capacity brought about by the development of modern logistics industry a unique advantage, but the objective should not be overlooked is that at present there are less than the majority of logistics enterprises, the lack of well-known enterprises, the standard of services is not high, logistics issues such as lack of network construction, the final analysis, it is because there is no industry with operational norms and laws and regulations.
Yiwu Chen senior logistics industry, the logistics of small businesses can learn from Shenzhen approach, through cooperation, and strengthen ourselves to join the form of the competitiveness of the large and medium-sized enterprises in terms of logistics and, more importantly, speed up the remote cooperation between the pace of as much as possible the extension of the logistics and transport point-to-point channels and better service to attract new customers.
The industry believes that the downturn in economic environment, to the logistics industry has provided an opportunity to reshuffle the cards. On the one hand, fierce competition is bound to eliminate part of small-scale, weak strength of the logistics enterprises; On the other hand, to have the ability to resist risks, on the scale of the logistics enterprises to seize opportunities for market share, "Matthew Effect" will be apparent.
