Due to the still weak demand in Europe and the United States, the cargo volume did not pick up significantly, so that the shipment tide before the May Day holiday was not as expected. The original GRI price increase plan issued by the shipping company on May 1 lost support due to the market downturn, and the expectation of raising the freight rate of the United States failed again. However, after the May Day holiday, the shipping company successively announced the increase of the comprehensive rate surcharge, the imposition of BUC fuel fee and PCC Panama Canal surcharge from June 1.
