In addition, when carrying cargo of equal weight and transporting the same distance by sea and air, the carbon dioxide emitted by sea transport was about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2014\/nov\/02\/environmental-impact-of-shipping-goods\">44 times less than air transport<\/a>. Because of this, sea freight is considered the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/supplychaindigital.com\/logistics-1\/what-sea-freight-and-why-use-it\">most carbon-efficient<\/a>\u00a0way to transport goods and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalmaritimeforum.org\/press\/denmark-norway-and-the-united-states-to-lead-zero-emission-shipping-mission\">efforts are underway<\/a>\u00a0to minimize the environmental impact of shipping.<\/p><p>Another leading advantage of ocean shipping is that it is significantly cheaper than air transport. But this benefit has been eroded this year with the cost of moving goods by sea getting a lot more expensive. To illustrate, container shipping rates from China to the United States have risen above\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/05\/china-us-container-shipping-rates-sail-past-20000-to-a-record.html\">US$20,000 per 40-foot box<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a record high and 500 percent up from a year ago, according to freight-tracking firm Freightos. It is a similar story when we look at indices tracking the cost of moving containers \u2013 the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) exceeded\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/scfi-breaks-through-the-4000-mark-for-the-first-time\/\">4,000 points for the first time ever in July<\/a>, having stayed below 1,000 for most of the last decade.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8291eb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8291eb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why are sea freight rates suddenly so much higher?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39c149e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"39c149e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When supply is squeezed, basic economics dictates that costs will go up. To illustrate the impact of slowing down trade, we saw what happened earlier this year when the Suez Canal got blocked for almost a week, which cost an estimated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/logistics-bloodstream-international-trading\/\">US$9.6 billion of trade each day<\/a>\u00a0until it was cleared and played an important role in driving up freight rates this year.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic\u2019s footprint continues to be felt across industries worldwide, and it has also been blamed for slowing the turnaround of shipping containers and therefore driving up freight rates. And yet, the pandemic has also been responsible for creating\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/companies\/transport\/unprecedented-times-for-ocean-freight-as-fees-soar-20210806-p58glf\">stronger demand for imported goods and materials<\/a>.<\/p><p>Some major ports have seen turnover\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/05\/china-us-container-shipping-rates-sail-past-20000-to-a-record.html\">held up by 7-8 extra days<\/a>. In China, a logistics crisis saw 350,000 containers from around the world piled up at Yantian Port by the end of June due to COVID-19 prevention efforts. With 50 ships crowding around the port unable to unload, the berth period at Yantian Port increased from an average 0.5 days to 16 days, with the daily handling container count dropping from 36,000 to 10,000 on average!<\/p><p>Moreover, a logistics crisis in California driven by increased consumption saw January arrivals of container ships increase by up to four times, causing a bottleneck and reducing logistics processing capabilities. The knock-on effect was a shortage of containers for logistics in Asia and higher shipping costs.<\/p><p>You can also add climate change factors such as typhoons off China\u2019s southern coast, flooding in Europe, wildfires in North America \u2013 these have all played a role in further holding up trade. We are likely to see even more strain around upcoming traditional shopping periods like Christmas and Black Friday, and there are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/scfi-breaks-through-the-4000-mark-for-the-first-time\/\">valid concerns this could impact the price of consumer products<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a333a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2a333a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/09\/AUG-NO2-InfographicINTERNATIONAL-SHIPPING-\uc218\uc81510.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjkxMzIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjFcLzA5XC9BVUctTk8yLUluZm9ncmFwaGljSU5URVJOQVRJT05BTC1TSElQUElORy1cdWMyMThcdWM4MTUxMC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"1422\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/09\/AUG-NO2-InfographicINTERNATIONAL-SHIPPING-\uc218\uc81510.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-29132\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/09\/AUG-NO2-InfographicINTERNATIONAL-SHIPPING-\uc218\uc81510.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/09\/AUG-NO2-InfographicINTERNATIONAL-SHIPPING-\uc218\uc81510-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/09\/AUG-NO2-InfographicINTERNATIONAL-SHIPPING-\uc218\uc81510-677x1024.jpg 677w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc8535c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fc8535c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A posture to cope with soaring sea freight rates<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb6c0a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb6c0a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unctad.org\/news\/how-cushion-consumers-high-maritime-freight-rates\">freight rates expected to remain higher for years<\/a>, what can be done?
