Against the backdrop of global supply chain diversification, shipping rates for short-haul routes in Asia have surged unusually. Recently, container shipping rates from China to Vietnam, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries have exceeded those for the long-haul trans-Pacific routes to the US West Coast, presenting the abnormal phenomenon of "short-haul rates higher than long-haul rates".
Seizing the opportunity of high shipping rates, starting from October 31st, Taiwan's three major container shipping giants — Evergreen Marine, Yang Ming Marine Transport and Wan Hai Lines — have collaborated on intra-Asia routes for the first time, launching the new "North China - Indonesia - Singapore & Malaysia Route". This route provides direct shipping services from North China to Indonesia, catering to the two-way trade demands between mainland China and Southeast Asia. Intra-Asia trade momentum remains robust, with container demand in Southeast Asia continuing to strengthen in the fourth quarter. The shipping rate for a 40-foot container on the Shanghai-Indonesia route stands at approximately $2,000.
Industry insiders predict that Southeast Asia's export volume to the US will grow significantly in 2025. Meanwhile, the region still needs to import raw materials and spare parts, which will further boost transportation demand, indicating broad prospects for the Southeast Asian shipping market in the future.
