Zhang Yanyi said: "The main reason for the current high freight rates in the market is the Red Sea crisis, and what the industry can do now is to continuously improve the turnover rate of ships and containers." But the market changes a lot, and how long high freight rates can be maintained is ultimately determined by market supply and demand."

He also reminded that the US East Coast labor contract will expire on September 30, and the new negotiation process between the two sides is also an important variable in the market, which needs special attention in the future.

Zheng Zhenmao believes that the Red Sea crisis continues and is the peak season of shipping, shipping companies have almost all of their ships, but the market capacity is still tight, shipping chaos, are the key to the rise in freight rates. "As long as there is no ceasefire and the shipping companies cannot ensure the safety of their ships and crews, they will not consider resuming navigation in the Red Sea."

For this year's performance, he analyzed that the performance generally reflects the freight rate of 2 months ago. According to the Shanghai export container comprehensive freight index, freight rates continued to rise from the end of April to July this year, which means that shipping companies will still perform better in the third quarter.

Speaking of performance, the latest results of Evergreen Shipping and Yangming Shipping are very encouraging.

Although no earnings figures have been released, both companies are expected to post significant earnings growth on the back of high freight rates.

Not long ago, the senior management of Evergreen Shipping and Yangming Shipping also made a judgment on the market.

At the shareholders' meeting held in May, Wu Guanghui, general manager of Evergreen Shipping, said that there was a shortage of boxes in the Far East export market, which caused panic among European and American importers and made up inventory in advance, making the peak season ahead of schedule. It remains to be seen how long restocking by European and American importers will last, but the market is still optimistic in the third quarter.

Du Shuqin, general manager of Yangming Shipping, mentioned at the law meeting held in June that he was often asked whether freight rates will continue to rise recently, whether it will be because shippers ship in advance, and the peak season will end early, he believes that high freight rates are expected to remain until the end of this year.
