Strikes At US Ports, Canada's Railways May Cause Container Freight Rate Volatility
Possible labor strikes at U.S. East and Gulf coast ports and Canadian railways may lead to volatility in container freight rates by causing supply-chain disruptions for the container industry and cargo owners, according to an industry expert.
根據行業專家，美國東海岸和墨西哥灣港口以及加拿大鐵路可能發生勞工罷工，這可能會導致集裝箱行業和貨主的供應鏈中斷，從而導致集裝箱運價波動。
"With the looming strikes at Canadian railways and U.S. ports, we may see an immediate uptick in freight rates as market participants brace for significant disruptions," said Christian Roeloffs, CEO of German online container marketplace Container xChange.
「由於加拿大鐵路和美國港口的罷工即將發生，市場參與者可能會預見到重大的干擾，從而導致貨運費率立即上升，」 Container xChange 的 CEO Christian Roeloffs 表示。
