Recently, the global container logistics supply chain has been seriously blocked, the port congestion has intensified, the shipping schedule has been delayed, the shift rate has continued to decline, and the overheated container market seems unable to proceed in an orderly manner
     At present, the congestion of Rotterdam, the largest container port in Europe, and Hamburg, the second largest port, are very serious, forcing shipping companies to change their shipping routes and suspend berthing or jumping from the port.
     Hapaq Lloyd, a member of the alliance, said in a new customer notice that a route is planned to stop at Rotterdam port within 7 weeks.
     The announcement said that due to the continued congestion in Rotterdam port, "it is decided to suspend the Nordic Asia fareastloop 4 loop service to Rotterdam port for seven consecutive weeks from week 25 to week 31."

FE4 link port: Qingdao - Busan - Ningbo - Shanghai - SPRC - (Suez) - alcilas - Rotterdam - Hamburg - Antwerp - Rotterdam - alcilas - (Suez) - Singapore - Qingdao.
It is reported that the first container ship to skip Rotterdam port is the "Hmm Rotterdam" ship, which is expected to arrive on July 14.
Herbert Roth pointed out that other routes such as Fe2 and fe8 far east ring road will continue to stop at Rotterdam port. For FE4, the German shipping company said: "the reason is that the waiting time is very long. If we wait too long in Rotterdam, we will miss the next port. FE4 is a service with large ships (23000 TEU), so the waiting time is too long compared with other small ships, which will have a great impact on the service. "

In addition, the serious congestion and delay in Hamburg Port, a big European port, also prompted Maersk and MSC to change to William port and Bremen port.
Last week, Maersk and MSc decided to extend their ae7 / condorloop4 loop jump to Hamburg for another four weeks to unload at Bremen port, and informed the shipper that this constituted "termination of transportation" according to the terms of the bill of lading.
Due to the high density of the dock in Hamburg, we decided to cancel the dock for four weeks, but we didn't wait for the ship to stop at the dock for a long time.

At the same time, increased demand and worsening port congestion in Asia have forced alliance shipping companies to temporarily adjust their liner service network. 2m's partners Maersk and MSc said they would adjust the navigation plans of the three Asia Nordic routes to match the actual departure date from Asia.
Maersk and MSc informed the customer that the sailing dates of their respective ae6 / lion, ae7 / Condor and ae10 / silk services would be retroactively revised to the actual sailing date of the ship.
"This situation is driven by the rapid growth of demand and the measures taken by the whole port supply chain to combat the epidemic," Maersk said

The shipping company said that the continuous delays "caused the flight to be disconnected from the line" and "several flights from Asia were separated by more than seven days".
According to 2m alliance, the adjustment of these three loops is only the beginning of network changes. It is expected to include another two loops to northern Europe and ae55 / Griffin'sweeper 'service.
At present, the scheduled rate of liner is at the lowest level in history, but shipping companies argue that in view of the global problems of the epidemic and the surge in demand for many routes, the scheduled rate is an "unfair" reflection of their efforts to improve the integrity of liner services.
"Our ship planners have a headache. Every 24 hours, they receive a pile of delay notices from the port office, which will have a chain reaction. This means that the route network needs to be adjusted every day. " A shipping officer said.
