Container Costs Rise As Shippers Skip Dangerous Suez Canal, Stress Over Trump Tariffs
The cost to ship a standard 40-foot container of goods from Shanghai to New York has risen to nearly $10,000.
從上海到紐約航運標準的40英尺集裝箱貨物的成本已經上漲至近10000美元。
That's because cargo ships are taking the long way around Africa to avoid Houthi rebels in the Suez Canal.
因爲貨船繞道非洲避免蘇伊士運河的胡塞反政府武裝，導致更長的路線擠壓集裝箱船隻，最終導致如玩具和汽車零件等的運輸費率上漲。
A much longer route puts a squeeze on container vessels and ultimately leads to higher shipping rates on things like toys and auto parts.
更長的路線會給集裝箱船隻帶來壓力，最終導致如玩具和汽車零件等的運輸費用上漲。
The Drewry World Container Index's spot rate for such a shipment hit $9,387 on July 11, up more than double the rate from February, Reuters reported.
據路透社報道，截至7月11日，德魯裏世界集裝箱指數的這種運輸的現貨費率達到9387美元，是今年2月的費率的兩倍以上。
Shipping rates may soar even higher. Greg Davidson, CEO of Lalo, told Reuters he expects $20,000 per container.
運輸費率可能會飆升。Lalo的首席執行官Greg Davidson告訴路透社，他預計每個集裝箱的費用將達到20000美元。
Importers may also rush to ship goods to the U.S. Fears are spreading that imports could face sweeping tariffs if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 election in November.
如果前總統唐納德•特朗普贏得11月的2024年大選，進口商品可能面臨全面的關稅，進口商可能會着急運送貨物到美國。
