Sursa foto: ProfimediaPandemia a dus prețurile la transportul maritim de marfă la un nivel record: „Rămânem fără nave şi containere goale”Preţurile la containerele maritime au atins un nivel record la 18 luni după pandemia de coronavirus, care a perturbat lanţurile logistice în domeniul transportului maritim şi a dus cererea la un nivel record. „Practic rămânem fără nave şi containere goale”, a declarat Alan Murphy, preşedintele firmei de consultanţă Sea Intelligence. Costul unei călătorii spre Europa a depăşit 10.000 de dolari, comparativ cu doar 1.600 de dolari în aceiaşi perioadă a anului trecut. Pandemia de COVID-19, care iniţial a paralizat practic transportul maritim mondial, a provocat "o scădere fără precedent a cererii" în industria de shipping", susţine Didier Rabattu, de la Lombard Odier Investment Managers. Preţul transportului cu containere maritime depinde de nivelul cererii, dar şi de capacitatea existentă la nivelul ofertei pentru a îndeplini cererea.
